Expert Answer

Mild kitten keratitis can heal in about seven days with active treatment; severe cases take weeks. It is usually caused by injury, foreign objects, or bacteria, showing as tearing, cloudy cornea, and light sensitivity, treated with antibiotic drops or ointment.

During treatment keep the kitten in an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching that worsens the condition.
