The kittens are 6 days old, and they've been sneezing. There doesn't seem to be any sign of a flu, their mother was also sneezing without a fever and was given antibiotics. The vet suggested I give the kittens vitamin C drops for human babies, but I'd like a second opinion...

If you are second guessing your vet then perhaps you should go to another one for a second opinion. In many instances human medicine can be given to animals, but then again, other medications can kill! So....if your vet told you it's ok, trust his/her education and experience and do it - or seek the second opinion. I don't see how vitamin drops will hurt but follow the dosage based on the weight of the kittens (your vet can do the calculation for you).

The vitamins are OK, in the dose the vet said. They all probably have a Upper Repertory Infection and the kittens should get the antibiotic from the moms milk while she is on it. Keep the family warm and watch for crusty eyes, and runny nose, sneezing etc. and bring them back to the vet if any of those things appear.

i think that vet, is correct .you should give it 1/4 of a vitamin c drop. get two straws cut one smaller then the other one,then put the bigger straw inside of the smaller straw and put the 1/4 of vitamin c inside the end of the smaller straw,then push the long straw threw the short straw so it acts like a plunger and stick the straw at the end of the tongue and push the straw then let the cats swallow it.
