Healed up eye infection

I decided to keep them both one more week, because they are both so ready for a new home, but I want to make sure that there's no relapse. Rusty's eyesight is perfectly alright! He chases everything that moves lol:

Rusty on meds

Rusty is doing better by the day. We finally got some medication from the vet for him to take orally as well as ointment for the eyes.

The oral antibiotic is called Clavamox (0.3 mg/ml twice a day) and the ointment I need to put into the eyes 3 times a day is called Vetropolycin.

Eye Infection Update

This is what my vet said:

The eyes on this kitten are not cataracts. A cataract is deep within the eye lens causing a cloudiness inside the pupil. This is a cloudiness of the cornea- often viral induced in young kittens from calici/herpes/chlamydia virus'. I am pleased to hear that it is improving- generally these get worse over time especially without treatment. I think this kitten could benefit from topical antibiotic eye ointment and oral antibiotics as well for secondary infection and corneal edema.

This is exactly what I have been doing, so I will continue the treatment. Should he get worse or stop improving, I will get different medication from the vet.

3 of the 5 kittens will go to the shelter tomorrow (they ARE property of the humane society/shelter, just in foster care) for adoption. They are ready, eating dry food, clean themselves, use the litterbox, drink water and refuse the bottle. That's my sign!

I will keep the little male "calico" back because there is still a little bit of blood in the stool, and also to keep Rusty company, who I of course will keep here until he is either completely healed, or somebody offers him a home including all the treatment he needs.

Rusty's Eyes

The infection is muuuuch better, and Rusty appears to be able to see, but looking at his eyes on this picture I just took...I don't know. It's the first time today that he actually has his eyes open, up until last night he kept squeezing them shut because they hurt:
