Okay.. I know this has been asked many times. But we can't afford a vet. Unless we start begging for money. The kittens are about six weeks old, both has runny eyes but we stopped that with neosporin. They also had Diarrhea, but that has been taken care of with yogurt. Now they both seem to be quite congested, but they still play, eat and drink (a lot), cuddle, sleep, ect. Very sweet little kittys.
We've tried steaming the bathroom, using vix and just now letting eat some chicken broth. We give them plenty of love, which seems to also help them when they're not feeling well. They don't cough or anything either. Plus we got them from a barn from our aunt. We've been treating them for mites, and it that's started clearing up. They don't appear to have worms, and if they do we'll also be able to treat that.
Does anyone know of a home remedy, pill, herb, or even hand healing technique we could use? Like I said.. we can't afford the vet..

They really need a vet. They may need antibiotics if it is an infection. However, if they are eating, drinking, and otherwise acting normal, they may just have colds which will just have to works its way out. Keep up with the steam treatments and plenty of liquids. Good luck.

You really should not even be raising kittens until they are 8 weeks old. Since they are so young, it is very important that you take them to a vet. I know you already told me you can't afford. But if you don't give medicine from a vet, their URI can lead into pneumonia.

Unfortunatly with an infection they need anti-biotics that they can only get from the vet. Infections dont just go away, just like they wouldnt on a human.
