Kitten with runny eyes

lady_marmalade

My 3 month old kitten's eyes have been a bit runny. And yes, I've been to the vet. He said there's nothing to worry about. That was a couple of weeks ago, they're still a bit sticky - not excessively so but was just wondering is this normal? Should I go back to the vet? She's in rude health otherwise...

*EDIT* she's not sneezing and she was a stray kitten...

Cotton wool and luke warm water,just dab and clean.

If you are worried, bring her back to the vet.

Thanks, I did bathe her eye with a mild saline solution this morning. I'll see how that goes and if she's no better in a week I'll bring her back.

Boil the water and let it return to room temp if you are using tapwater.

We had the problem before and the vet told us it was stress related, probably because we had moved house, so we picked up some wipes and used those. It cleared up after a while.

The warm water should do the trick but if it doesn't clear up the vet should be able to give you a mild ointment.

We had this problem with a kitten, someone told us to wipe her eyes with a warm wet teabag. Did the trick actually.

the tbag works,as silly as it sounds my dad used to do it with are kitten it has to be warm you just hold it on the eye for as long as the kitten will let you and wipe all the muck away never failed
