Can anyone tell me if it looks like my kitten is having an allergic reaction to the eye drops that she was prescribed for an upper resp infection? I stopped giving them to her yesterday because they looked worse but today they looked even worse so I continued with them, please help!

if you are noticing the eyes are looking worse, I recommend to call the vet asap. It could be an allergic reaction but it could also be a worsening of the viral infection (and the meds have not had enough time to take effect yet). You vet is the best one to advise you in this scenario. I hope Emma starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
