Dandy just got over having a gunky eye. It seemed like one minute she was fine and the next, she was keeping it closed. Then i noticed the wet discharge. So i took her to the vet, and what they will do, is first put some drops in the eye, and turn on a black light, the drops would show if there were any scratches under the black light. If not, then it is probably pink eye, and you will need ointment. Dandy ended up just needing the ointment...no scratches...it did take a good 3-5 days for it to completely clear up after starting the ointment...

If there was a scratch, it could get infected ( so they may give you ointment anyway)...and if the kittens play alot, it is possible, that his eye got scratched...but you never know
