    Put warm compresses over the kitten's eyes. This will help open them up. Teramyacin is an ointment, I believe. To be honest with you, these kittens need a vet. I'd call around to different vet hospitals. Explain your situation to them. One of them HAS to be a little compassionate and offer their help.

    Good luck and please keep us posted.

    I agree a vet would be best... but as a kid I used to have to try to help sick kittens with little or no vet help available either.

    Warm water and a wash cloth to clean the eyes.... take it slow. imagine the way a momma cat licks them. rinse the cloth frequently and use a fresh cloth for each kitten to prevent spreading anything (I know. Chances are they all probably have the same stuff, but safe is better than sorry.)

    Call for advice on doseage...a vet will tell you or call the manufacturer.

    Good luck!

    PM me if you want

    Thank you all for the advice.
    In the past I was a Vet tech.
    So I've allready done the warm moist compress. Which obviously has helped some, but what needs to be addressed is the infection itself.
    Teramycin is also a watersoluble, waterborne antibiotic that is administered to a variety of animals to clear up low level infections (including upper respiratory infections) erythromycin is what I remember using years ago, it's disolved in water and the kitties drink it. Teramycin is pretty much the same thing. I've allready gone ahead and administered it, I'll keep everyone posted.
    Thanks again.
