I took in a mama cat and her litter of seven kittens a couple weeks ago from a mechanic shop. Two of the kittens have issues with their eyes that I'm concerned about. All their eyes were opening at about 10 days, but two days ago I noticed that two of the kittens only had one eye open and the other eye is sealed shut with what looks like a scab or crusty mucus. I'm assuming both eyes should be open at this point, which is why I'm concerned. I'm not sure if both eyes ever completely opened before looking this way since the kittens all look very similar and it's a bit difficult to keep track of who's who.
I was able to get a couple of pictures of one of the kittens. They haven't been exposed to any other cats since they were about 3 days old. They are also being kept inside in a box I set up for them and their mom. No other signs of illness that I can determine, and no drainage from the open eye. Any suggestions on what it could be or what I should do? Thanks.
