My kitten's eye is red, swollen, and oozing after puppy bite. Help!

Question

My puppy bit my kitten’s eye & it is red and swollen, puss is oozing out of it mixed with a little blood & his eye boogers are building up & hardening on the outside of his eye, and his eye is closing up a little, there are no puncture wounds. And I’m really worried for my kitten, he is less than 4 months old, please help me. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 17 days old | 4 lbs

This is a medical emergency, and Sebastian needs to see a vet now. His eye would have been damaged from the bite, and it sounds like there is now an infection if you are seeing pus. This will also be extremely painful for him, and there are no OTC pain medications you can give. Many human ones are toxic to cats, and are fatal if given. If you leave this untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Please take him into a vet immediately, there is nothing you can do for him at home.
