The vet would probably have some eye drops that would clear it up. If it´s only in one eye, it is probably not a respiratory infection.

Good luck with your babies!

It is fairly common for newborns to have neonatal conjuntivitis (eye infections). Your vet can confirm and make sure there is not another, more serious problem going on.

For kripes sakes Josephine I sat here for three minutes trying to figure out why you thought you misspelled conjunctivitis when I finally saw that ´c´ you missed... I must be going blind and you must be a teacher...but I think we covered that already <lol>

Glad to hear the baby is doing better.
