My 8-week-old kitten has a red dot on his eye pupil. What is it?

Question

Hi, Hi, I have a male kitten around 8 weeks old but looks small for his age although he's very playful and adorable. He was almost dead as he was sick from the flu at the age of 5 weeks, so we rushed him to the hospital and treated him, and now he has regained his strength and has done so much progress but unfortunately his left eye doesn't seem normal, there's a red dot on his pupil and I don't know what's happening with it, I'm concerned about his eye health.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, among many other conditions. I highly recommend that you have Courage evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to do a more thorough exam of the eye. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
