Red eye in kitten

[dragonflysar21]

I have a kitten about 6 months old, and her eye turned a very dark red.  I thought she got something stuck in it, or maybe my other cat scratched it when they were playing, but its been a couple days and it still is red.  It doesn't seem to bother her, but Im worried.   Any ideas of what it might be?  Any advice is appreciated.

Your kitten most likely has an Upper Respiratory Infection. call your vet and they will get you opthalmic gel to put in your cats eye.(Your vet may want to see your cat too, just to make sure there is nothing in its eye). Put this gel in 2-3times a day for about a week and your kitten should be as good as new!
As i have said in other forums please take care of this though. Even though it may not seem like a big deal now, it can become one! If infection is not treated it can spread very easily in animals.
And, again...Your cat could lose its eye if not treated! I work with many cats that only have one eye because their owners didnt take proper care of them!
And although cats function fine with only one eye, please dont put them threw that un-nessary pain!
Thank You and Good Luck!

She might have some infection in her eye. You might want to take it to a vet and they can give some cream to put in the eyes.
