Kitten has excessive eye secretions and can't open her eyes

A kitten with excessive eye discharge and difficulty opening its eyes may be caused by infection or other eye problems. Here are some reasons why this may occur:

1. Viral infections: such as feline infectious peritonitis virus, feline epidemic upper respiratory tract infection, etc., can cause eye problems, including eyelid swelling, excessive secretions, and inability to open the eyes.

2. Bacterial infection: Bacterial infection may also cause eye problems, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. These diseases usually cause eye redness, excessive secretion, and inability to open the eyes.

3. Trauma: Kittens may suffer eye injuries during play, such as eye trauma caused by scratches by other pets or injuries from toys. In this case, the eyes may also be unable to open.

4. Other causes: Hereditary eye abnormalities, allergic conjunctivitis, etc. may also cause similar symptoms.

If the kitten has excessive eye secretions, red and swollen eyes, or cannot open them, he should go to the veterinarian for examination and treatment in time. While waiting for treatment, you can use a wet towel with warm water to gently wipe the eyes to ensure that the kitten's eyes remain clean and hygienic. At the same time, prevent kittens from coming into contact with other pets or humans to avoid infection.
