Question:
Hi,
Pixie's kittens are 16 days old and have all open their eyes and have all had them fully open for a few days now. The thing is I have just noticed that one of the tabbies eyes is shut and when I looked it seems like the lids are stuck together - can see a little bit of stickiness.
Any advice on what I should do, will bathing/dabbing it with warm water help?
Thanks Nicola.

Answer:
Hi,
Thanks very much for that.
Just an update on the kitten, last night we dabbed the eye with warm water, put her back with the others then she attempted to scratch it herself then it opened! Almost fully! Woke up this morning though and it's closed again! I will dad with some more water and do this regularly throughout the day, even if the eye opens again. There is no discharge of any kind, doesn't look red or swollen, it just looks a tiny bit sticky when it's closed but fine again once opened!
I will monitor it and keep dabbing for the next day or so and see if this improves so that she can keep it open.
