My kitten's face is swollen and eye is squinting. What's wrong?

Question

I’m not sure what’s wrong with my kittens side of his face

Dr. Dayna, DVM, CVA · Accepted Answer

I am sorry to hear that your little kitten isn’t feeling well. Pictures are 2 dimensional and sometimes seeing signs of swelling is difficult, but to me there appears to be swelling under the eye as well as squinting of the eye. Often times swelling in this area originated in the mouth. It is also possible that she may have an upper respiratory virus or infection. I would highly encourage you to consider having her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Once they establish what is causing the swelling they will make recommendations for a treatment plan. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
