My baby kitten has red, watery eyes and one is shutting. What's wrong?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1lb

My kittens eyes are red and watering also slightly shutting not normal like the other eye. Her eyes are quite red too I'm worried as she is still a baby kitten.

Your kitten may have an eye infection. It would be best to have her seen by your vet as soon as possible for an exam. Eye problems should be addressed within the first 24 hours to make sure the problem does not get worse.
