It sounds like your kitten is experiencing some eye discharge, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as minor irritations, allergies, or infections. Given the redness on her face and muzzle, it's possible that she might be dealing with an irritation or a mild infection.

To help your kitten at home, you can start by gently cleaning her eyes. Use a clean, damp cloth or a cotton ball soaked in warm water to carefully wipe away any discharge. Remember to use a separate cloth for each eye to avoid spreading any potential infection.

It's also important to monitor her for any additional symptoms. Keep an eye out for signs like sneezing, coughing, or changes in her behavior, as these could indicate a more serious issue.

Make sure her environment is free from irritants such as dust, smoke, or strong fragrances, as these could be affecting her eyes. Additionally, ensure she stays well-hydrated and is eating a balanced diet to support her immune system.

If the discharge doesn't improve or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, I recommend consulting a veterinarian for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
