u need to take them to the vet......the vet will give u an antibiotic cream for them.....it will be goopy cream that u will have to apply to the kittens eyes....it's yucky but it will clear up in a few hrs.....I would recommend just calling u'r local vet and telling them what u need for your cats eyes (ask for terramycin) that's what I use for my cats and it works gr8....anyway, many times the vet will sell it to u without u having to bring kitty in and pay the xtra vet bill...... =)

No it is not normal, but it is common for cats and kittens to have upper respiratory issues. You should have a vet check them out, at least the sickest one, and it would be a good idea to do a feline leukemia test on one of them or on mom, because feline leukemia is fatal. But usually all you need is some antibiotic eye ointment and maybe some antibiotic oral drops. Make sure you use an EYE ointment, NOT regular Neosporin.

No it is not normal it sound like your litter has the cat flu. Was the mother vaccinated? If not they may have caught it from her inutero. They need a vet for some Antibiotics and eye cream. If you leave an infected eye it will ulcerate so get them to the vet soon they will be feeling lousy

No... it is not "normal" although quite common in kittens. Your babies have upper respiratory infection and you need to take them to the vet to get the proper medications for them - a course of low-dose antibiotics most possibly. Athough it may seem like nothing more than a bad cold to us, in kittens and young cats, the sickness can imact them very hard and they can go down really quickly. So, take them to the vet.

That is definitely an eye infection. You need to get those kittens to the vet as soon as you can. If you check, their gums might be pale, that's a sign of another disease. Either way, I'd get them to the vet. Good luck!!

No, this is not normal. You need to get your kittens to the vet as soon as possible. I had a kitten once and it had the same symptoms and passed away. GO TO THE VET!
