    Crusty eyes
    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.

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