So my 6 month old kitten eyes started to have dischargee and as you can see in the picture its been dark and crusted in the corner of his eyes. I try to clean them, however it comes back quickly. It has been like this for a few weeks now and he seems more bitty too. I just wanted to make sure if this was a common thing and I have nothing to worry about. Or if I should bring him to a vet.

Hi there, I'm only appreciating a small amount of eye discharge in the photograph, which could be normal after a long nap or sleep, just like in people. If Percy begins to hold his eyes closed, the eye discharge becomes yellow/green/runny, sneezing, coughing, or less interest in food- these would all be signs of a respiratory infection that may require treatment and an exam from your vet. I hope this helps. Thanks for using PetCoach.
