Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lili. I recommend asking her veterinarian about the eyes. I am concerned that she has an eye infection or an upper respiratory infection as both are common in kittens. If so, she will likely require an antibiotic eye ointment and possibly oral antibiotics if she is sneezing. I hope this information helps!
