I am so sorry to hear that Mykee is uncomfortable. Conjunctivitis is common in kittens with upper respiratory infections. Most of the time these are viral, but we often use antibiotics drops or ointment in the eyes to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Terramycin is one of the commonly used topical medications. I would encourage you to call your veterinarian and ask about the possibility of a prescription. I would also encourage you to monitor her closely for any coughing , sneezing, or decreased appetite. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
