4 week old kittens, still not opening eyes?

HI! My sweet rescue Kitty, Calla, got pregnant just a couple weeks before her spay appointment. She had 6 very cute babies 4 weeks ago and They don't seem to be normal. Most haven't opened their eyes at all, and the rest only have them partially opened. They don't really explore past their box and they almost seem like newborns still. Anyone have any ideas?

You did here like surely many others do.  But the answer is really easy.  Just spay anyway, even if you know they had mated.   It  IS unpleasant to spay them when they are already visibly pregnant, but those just mated arent big deal.  Some veterinarian handbooks even recommend this, so not to risk spaying when in heat.

Something to know for the next time!   

Good luck!
