2 Week Old Kittens One Eye Stuck Shut

Most kittens open their eyes within eight days of being born while some kittens take as long as two weeks.

2 week old kittens one eye stuck shut. The other eye is fine and sometimes the eye has less crust. Kittens are born with their eyes closed. While a kitten who has not opened its eyes at all within two weeks should be taken to the veterinarian you can help a kitten that has one eye open but not the other. One of our 3 1 2 week old kittens litter of 5 is healthy and lively as the rest but has one eye that is crusty and sometimes glued shut.

One of the infections that can affect a newborn kitten is infection of the conjunctiva the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and the eyeball or of the cornea the transparent front surface coating of the eyeball. I have been wiping it down with water to open the eye then putting neosporin in it. I have 2 week old kittens and their eyes are matted shut and when i tried to take water and clean them pus in yellow color came out. I don t have enough money to go to the vet and i am wondering if someone can help me.

They still have their eyes shut submitted. At around two weeks of age when a new kitten s eyes first open it s common for them to show signs of an eye infection. Though it s common it isn t normal and must be addressed. My two week old kitten has its left eye glued shut and there is this clear liquid coming out of it.
