So I'm worried again [emoji]128532[/emoji][emoji]128547[/emoji] yesterday morning,last night and this morning I heard a kitten sneeze not sure which one did it but I checked each one for eye and nose discharge and there is nothing. They are still on antibiotics and ideas on what's going on?

They may still sneeze while on antibiotics, but the meds prevent a secondary infection. URI's are from the herpes virus, which gives them a cold, so sneezing occurs.

Which medicine are they on?

Oh good! Makes me feel much better lol.
I usually have emergency money set side for this kind of stuff but 2 days before she had her kittens my son busted his eyebrow open and had to get stitches so had to pay a $250 Co pay on that and then 2 different vets costing around $200 (together) I'm broke now haha.

A flea comb. Have a mug of hot water nearby to instantly drown the fleas in.

(Be prepared for the kitten to try wrestle with the comb. Put the hot water mug somewhere it can't accidentally get pushed over)

OMG that photo of Mom staring at the camera with her kitten next to her is so wonderful.

It's actually sort of made my day.

If you treat mom on the back of the neck with a tube of Advantage II, it will usually take care of the fleas on the kittens as well. Flea anemia is a real threat in small kittens!
