Do any of the kittens have eye discharge or gumminess?

ACCEPTED

Dear friend,

This is not serious and could be the result of a little bacteria. Put a little vaseline on the outer portion of the eye but do not try to force it open.If the mommy licks it - that is Ok.

In addition,go to a health food store and get the human amino acid Llsine or order Enysil F (lysine paste) from www.bullwrinkle.com You can sprinkle 150 mg of lisine in moms water and use the paste when the babies get older. That will protect them from the Herpes virus.

Please let me know if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help in any way possible.

Best of luck with your adorable furry family.

~Terri
