We official adopted two kittens after fostering them for a month. Toby is around 6 months (just got his big boy teeth) and Annie is around 4months.
Almost since we brought them home, Toby’s left eye had been showing a bit of the third eyelid. He didn’t seem bothered by it. That eye also has “sleepers” way more than the right eye.
Then last evening we noticed that Annie’s left eye was very watery! Her third eyelid is showing a bit, but it’s more watery/squinty. I don’t want to be that mom who rushes them to the vet at the first slight issue but neither do I want to mess around with their vision.
Is a trip to the vet in order??
We adopted them from the local humane society and both were in very good condition when we brought them home (aside from Toby’s eyelid being a little visible of course). Annie came to them with maggots and a warble (poor baby) but they treated those and by the time we got her she had only a shaved neck to show for it. Both were treated for roundworms at the humane society as well, and Toby had treatment for lungworm only because the litter mate he came in with had tested positive. He tested negative for that.
Any advice about the eyes/vet visit? We have not taken them to our vet yet as they were vaccinated and neutered/spayed by the humane society; but I did register them with our vet.
