I used to bathe eyes like that with warm salt water. I don't know the ratio but salt is a antiseptic. Maybe a half tsp to a half cup of water. Be sure the water is'nt too hot. And bathe them often. And maybe a pet store might have something on hand that do'es the same thing. Check with them.

my kitty has yucky eyes too. The vet told us to give him L-lysine. That might work for you too. Our vet said it was an eyes infection

Go to the pet supply store and get some Opti-clear. Costs about $10.00. The milk may not be helping because it's a foreign substance (and pretty sticky as well). Go on-line and look up JeffersPet. They have some eye ointment that works too. Their prices are better than other on-line stores. Use the opti-clear to clean his eyes until the other stuff comes in. Don't wait on this. Eye infections are nothing to mess with.
