katt_goddess Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 'Pop-eye' aka feline syphilis. Passed on to the kittens developing eyes as they are being born, it matures as the eyes do. If not dealt with immediately, the eyes will seal shut, stay sealed shut and the resulting pressure buildup will pop the eyes inwardly causing painful death. It happens too much in feral communities, especially if there's a limited bloodline going on that ruins the natural immunity. Every few hours, picking up an infected kitten to carefully sponge it's eyes back open to make sure the pressure drains while the little one cries because it doesn't know what's going on... Check all the other kittens you can to see if anyone else has any sort of crusts starting because the vet is going to want to know what level of infection there could be going on. Hopefully just the one is too weak to fight it off. If you've been feeding them and can do so, try to include something extra in their bowls to help build up strength. Suggest a meaty wet food like beef and livers or chicken. Fish can be too rich for some kitties and cause horrible diarrhea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilgar Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Katt, taking the kitten to the vet is code for throwing it in the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthor Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) You have more urgent matters to deal with than a feral kitten. You have a human child who depends on you, and if you're actually as ill as you say you are, you owe it to her to take care of your own condition before you worry about feral kittens. Save your money for the ER bill instead of spending it on a feral cat. Edited July 26, 2019 by mthor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna get it in the morning Some are healthier than others, some just run away for fun no matter what until they associate you specifically with good things.
