Kitten’s eyes are stuck and unable to open

If your kitten's eyes are stuck together and won't open, it could be for one of the following reasons:

1. Eye infection: A kitten’s eyes may be infected by bacteria or viruses, causing eye secretions to increase and stick together. Common eye infections include conjunctivitis and keratitis.

2. Eye allergies: Kittens may have allergic reactions to irritants in the environment (such as dust, pollen, or chemicals), resulting in itchy, red, swollen eyes and increased discharge.

3. Trauma or foreign bodies: Kittens may be injured or have foreign bodies enter their eyes, causing eye inflammation and secretions.

Here are some suggestions for this situation:

1. Wet with warm water: Dip a clean, soft cloth or cotton ball in warm water and gently wipe the secretions around the kitten's eyes to loosen them and allow them to open their eyes. Make sure the water you use is warm and avoid being too hot or too cold.

2. Avoid friction: Try to avoid forcibly rubbing or pulling on the adhering eyes, which may cause greater discomfort and injury.

3. Seek medical attention: If the condition persists or worsens, it is recommended to take the kitten to the veterinarian as soon as possible for further examination. Your veterinarian can determine the specific cause and administer appropriate treatment, such as antibiotic eye drops, allergy medications, or other eye care.

Please note that for kitten eye problems, it is important to seek medical attention early to prevent potential infection or other complications.
