My kitten's eye is dripping, swollen, and stuck. Does she need a vet?

Question

A few days ago her eye randomly start dripping and as the days passed it's got worse and started to swell up abit and also drips alot and sometimes in the mornings it gets stuck together . A few of my freinds said it will go down itself and to not take her vets but i think im going to have to. I was thinking maybe she just hit ber head somewhere because shes always running around playing with the other kitten . Ive noticed the strays she plays with have the same thing but not as worse . Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 26 days old | 7 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nala. She appears to be squinting a bit in your picture. This can mean that her eyes are painful. If the other cats she is playing with are experiencing similar signs, I suspect there is an infectious cause. I would recommend that she sees her veterinarian. She may require an antibiotic eye ointment. In the meantime, do not let her paws at her eyes as this can irritate them further. I hope this information helps!
