A week and a half old kitten with shut eyes?

Question

My kitten's eyes are shut and it has all this gooey stuff on it.I used a warm wet cloth to clean it off.Its eyes open,but an hour or so later its shut again.I cant take it to the vet.So what should I do?

Answer 1

keep cleaning them.

eyes open at about 10 days, so he is right on time. not sure if you were concerned because they were not open yet.

Answer 2

your kitten is still young so dont try to force and open it

it takes time

and if it doesnt open by the 3rd week then take it to a doctor

Answer 3

It usually takes up to 2weeks before their eyes open. So it may be just late on it's eyes opening, but by 2or so weeks if they haven't yet, I would definitely call the vet and just ask, to see what they say(extra advice) or even a pet shop may know. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

normally kittens eyes dont open until about 2 weeks. she/he may be trying to open them but the body says no. keep gently wiping the goo off. but get the kitten to a vet ASAP. it may have something stuck in its eyes. hope this helps!!
