    Ear and eye infection in kitten
    Dear Sir or madam

    We have just collected an 8 week old ginger kitten today. We noticed that she has some sort of runny black mucus coming from her eyes and they appear to be red and sore in appearance. Her sister kitten also has this mucus coming from her nose. Our kitten seems to have a little bit of this black mucus in her ears too. Is there a simple solution to this - could we treat this ourselves with a small dropper with a very very watered down salt solution?

    Should she be kept isolated from our 2 other cats - is there a possibility it could be infectious?

    Kind regards

    The kittens sound like they have an upper respiratory infection.
    It's best to take them to the vet. They should probably be dewormed and vaccinated at this time.

    Yes, URI's are contagious.
