Question
yeah i just got a six week old kitten and i noticed she has some icky stuff around her eyes not as much in them. do you know what this is? and what should i do? thanks

Answer
Kimberly,
Get a warm washcloth and gently wash it off.  Your kitten probably needs to see a vet for antibiotics.  If there is discharge from the nose too, then it could be serious.   A kitten at this age should have clear eyes and nose with no sneezing.   I wouldn't fool around with this,  a vet visit is definetly in order.

God Bless,
Becky
