Cat flu is an upper respiratory infection usually treated with antivirals, antibiotics, and lysine. Amoxicillin reduces inflammation, while lysine and drugs like famciclovir suppress the virus. Severe cases need interferon injections at a vet.
Kitten is four weeks old; eyes were gummed shut soon after birth, cleared with saline, but still won’t open; what to do?
Cats normally open eyes 7-14 days after birth. If a month passes without opening, consider eye disease. Watch for much discharge or dirt and wipe clean. If still not open after cleaning, take it to the vet promptly.
Cat just received yesterday, about one month old, ~0.5kg. One eye won’t fully open, a white film, pupil unclear

Woke up this morning and its eye won’t open; don’t know if it’s internal heat or what
From the photo, the dog seems to have an eye problem; take it to the vet for a targeted exam. Eye infection, conjunctivitis, keratitis, or viral disease can cause an eye that won't open and redness; blind medication can harm the eye. First put on an Elizabethan collar to stop scratching, then see the vet soon.
My kitten’s lower eyelid has hair loss, redness, and swelling
Lower-eyelid hair loss and redness are likely ringworm, but eye-disease inflammation is also possible. If possible, use a Wood's lamp in dim light; green fluorescence suggests ringworm, treat near the eye corner with topical antifungal. If no green reaction and the cat has tearing, conjunctivitis, or heavy stains, it is eyelid inflammation; use anti-inflammatory drops and wipe discharge often.

An eye that won't open and tears can be from irritants or conjunctivitis. Check for foreign objects and clean with saline; if tearing continues with redness, try pet anti-inflammatory drops; if no relief, see a vet as it may be another disease.
Eyes inflamed with discharge, then yellow stuff blocks the nose, sneezes while eating and sprays food, sleeps a lot, eats little

One-month-old kitten, eye inflammation and swelling since second day home, not eating
A young kitten's eye inflammation and swelling are mainly from irritants, conjunctivitis, or keratitis; with a runny nose, viral complications are possible. Try pet eye drops.
Doni’s right eye half-closed since afternoon, discharge and tears, only on that side; wondering if ear mites from shared cage
Eye closure and tearing have many causes including heat, irritants, and eye inflammation, not necessarily ear mites. Check the ears; if clean, ear mites are unlikely.
