My girlfriend decided that it was a good idea to clean the eye boogies off one of our kittens. Whoops I guess not because now one of the eyes seems to have gotten just a little crusty around the tear duct area. Should we be worried of the eye being infected or is this something normal that occurs & if it is an infection what can we do?

Kittens seem prone to getting upper-respiratory infections. To be on the safe side, you should maybe make a trip to the vet to get it checked out, in case the kitten needs to go on antibiotics.

P

What?

You should take the Kitten to the Veterinary a Doctor for Animals, she might need antibiotics.

Cats keep themselves very clean, even kittens plus the mother cleans them as well...
Definitely vet time!
