My cat gave birth on Dec 30 she had 3 kittens but only 1 survived I didn't know she was pregnant because she had escaped but came back. The kittens eyes r crusty and closed no discharge or swollen. I've been using cotton balls and warm water to whip his eyes but I haven't seen no improvement and to be honest I don't think my cat knows what she's doing. The kitten actually just started finding his way around my other concern will be I haven't seen no urine or nothing from d kitten should I take him to the vet

I would take the kitten to the vet he might have clymitia ( spelling is not my strong point) which is an eye infection. Just because you are not seeing the swelling or drainage I would not rule it out. Does mom do anything with it?

Yes, you definitely should take the kittens and their mother to the vet. The mother needs to be fixed and the kittens may need antibiotics for their eyes.

The mom cat is probablytaking care of bodily fluids of the kitten which is why you don't see "stuff". They have to be stimulated to go by momcat.

You should make arrangements to get a vet visit for kittens eye. They will probably send you home with eye ointment or drops.
Kittens eyes don't open until day 10 to 14...maybe a late bloomer? Vet visit isn't a bad idea.

Once I whip his eyes mom will lick kittens eyes, I'm goin to call the vet tomorrow and bring them both in I have tea cup chihuahua so I feel like a new mom all over again with the kitten

I agree, although I'd wait on the fixing of the mother.
Once fixed she won't be able to feed her kitten anymore.
