Can someone help my kitten?

[Chickens and kittens]

Do y'all think it would be okay to put these eye drops in their eyes?

No. The only safe thing for their eyes is normal saline, unless its something a vet gives you. Just use the warm cloth and clean eyes and noses until you can get them seen.

No. That's herbal medicine containing eyebright and belladona (deadly nightshade). It won't do anything.

"A report from the European Medicines Agency states about the efficacy of Euphrasia (eyebright) remedies:

From the presence of secondary metabolites, an astringent and anti-inflammatory activity can be hypothesized for Euphrasia preparations. The ocular use of Euphrasia is based upon tradition. However, since the efficacy of the claimed ocular uses is undocumented and external eye application is not hygienic, therapeutic use cannot be recommended"

If you want a natural remedy to soothe temporarially, use chamomile. Pour boiling water over a teabag, let it soak in and steep, then let it cool to the touch. Press the used teabag over the eyes like a warm cloth.

Rabbit breeders like myself use this to help with weepy eyes.

Thank all of you so much! I do love my cats a lot I really hope that y'all don't think I'm some crazy girl with sick cats everywhere. It's just one got pregnant then another and it just got out of control and there is very little I can do I can't drive and I don't make any money yet. If I did they would all be perfectly healthy. The most I can really do is beg my parents.

Everyone always does the best they can do ..in life. You are doing a good job.
For the future...If someone is rude/mean/or says something that you don't wan't to hear/makes you upset...ignore it.

Just keep begging them. LOL.

Thank you. Yeah I will I hardly ever beg I find it very very annoying but anything for my pets.

Good luck with your cats!

Remember to fix all of your cats (if you can). Unfixed male cats spray a lot and tend to wander, which is dangerous for them (they can get run over, into fights with other cats, or get sick).

Nah, it's nothing against you personally. I've just had to deal with people who have a lot of not-so-stray cats around that they don't take good care of. They were attacking my chickens for a while and wouldn't stop because they were hungry. They wouldn't get em fixed either. Older couple, believed that all of them should have at least one litter and dumb stuff like that.
Eventually the old man moved leaving just his son there, I though he'd do something or at least stop feeding them. I waited but nothing changed. It took my dogs killing some of the kittens in my back yard (we have a 6' fence so the dogs can run loose and they got to the cats before the cats could get out of the lawn) before the pressure was enough to start getting them fixed and in new homes. Now there's just the mama cat and she's fixed now. He feeds her, and she doesn't come into my lawn (she knows better).
A few good barn cats are great to have around. But only if they're being cared for. Otherwise they're just a host of problems.
I suspect you'll do OK getting this resolved if you can your parents to go along with you.
