Sick kittens.

Sounds like ( sorry about spelling hope you can get it) PRC. either Panluekapinia, or CaliciRhino. It is a Upper Respitoy infection in kittens, I am so sorry to tell you they need antibiotics. Most like called Clavomox Drops. It is hard to treat and fight on your own. Maybe try and call the local shelter and let them know you are fostering them and what you can do. If you had this liter on your own, you may not get any help, there are rescue groups out there, try and find them and see what they can do. I found a kitten and a no kill rescue took her in to foster her. good luck,

Vets are expensive, trust me - I know…I foster animals and I have 2 dogs, 8 cats, a hamster and a tarantula in my house.

Sometimes going to the vet without a better understanding can be difficult on the finances.

Go here and ask your question: http://www.askvetadvice.com/ At least then you can get a good idea of whether this is something that can be dealt with at home, or if a vet is absolutely necessary. I’m leaning on the latter, though…you might have to break the bank and get them a professional diagnosis.

There are two things to think about.

1. They need an antibiotic ointment from the vet. You aren’t going to be able to get it from the store, they need a vet. ASAP.

2. Eye ailments are often symptoms of other, bigger, issues. Have they been tested for FIV and FeLv? (Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS?) If not, get them tested ASAP. Unless they came from a planned breeding of 2 healthy cats, they could likely have one of these diseases.

I have a kitten with runny eyes. Its litter mate died this morning. I live way out in the country. What could I give the kitten to maybe help? I feel like I need to try something.
