Hi, this is my first post and I have come to you all needing some advice. I picked up a kitten yesterday (about 6 weeks old) that has infection in both eyes. Her little eyes were practically glued shut from oozing, etc. I stopped by the vet with her and they agreed her eyes were in bad shape. They possibly are ruptured, but it was hard to tell with all the infection. They gave me some triple antibiotic ointment to put in three times a day and they have improved. She can keep them open now, and she can see, but I don't think very well. Her third eyelid comes over part of her eye in each eye and there is pink lesion like thing on each eyeball itself. I don't know if there is any hope for her. She is so sweet and otherwise normal. I can't afford a lot of surgery. (I already have three cats and five dogs.) If her eyes are ruptured, what can be done, or does anything have to be done? Could she live a normal life as is when the infection is cleared up? I am to bring her back in a few days to the vet. They also mentioned she could have Aids or leukemia so I am keeping her quarantined. Does anyone have any experience with anything like this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Jenny
