Kitten's Eyes Matted Shut and Nose Crusty?

I have a kitten probably a few weeks old. His eyes are matted shut and his nose looks crusty. He is very lethargic and won't eat. Is there help for this little guy?

Take him to a vet ASAP. He can lose his vision from an eye infection.

this sounds like an infection, common in baby cats. Defo take him to the vet. After that these are things you can use to help him in the future

I have had several stray kittens with the same problem. I would compare it to a bad head cold in a human. I always wiped their faces/eyes/nose with a warm cloth several times per day to keep them clean and comfortable.

A vet can give antibiotics and vitamins to clear up the infection.

This kitten will need to see a Vet right away or you will lose him. He must have antibiotics for the eyes and respiratory infection. When they are this small you have no time to think about it. His best bet is to be treated right away by a Vet and staying with his mother. A local cat rescue might be helpful. Their foster care givers are very good with tiny kittens. Good luck.

Veterinary fees are high but this baby really needs to see one as soon as possible.

  • You can wash his eyes and face with a soft clean white cloth dipped in warm water just to give him some relief until you take him to the vet. Keep him warm also.

  • Be sure to change the water and cloth often.
  • Seeing the vet will also give you a chance to set up a schedule for his shots and vaccinations at a later date.
