Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kreso. I agree that the lining of her eye is a bit red. She also appears to have some discharge. Respiratory tract infections with eye involvement are common in kittens and young cats. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian to determine if this is the case or if it is something else. She may need medication. I hope this information helps!
