Sukie has started sneezing alot for the last day and a half, I have heard one or two of the kittens sneezing lately aswell. Cannot think of anything that could be making them sneeze and I know they are all warm and well fed so any ideas?

It could be allergies (is the room dusty??) or they could have a cold. Best thing is to ring your vet and find out if you should take them in.

Allergys cold or start of URI I would take them to the vet or calll...
URI=cold.

I noticed I just did that sorry am a little off right now LOL...
It's ok..I thought it was cute.
Katie
I would go ahead and take them all to the vet. It does sound like a cold
I say bring them in because those little babies don't have a full imune system yet, and a cold can hit them hard. I hope everyone stops sneezing and feels better asap
Before you take the entire litter in to the vet, CALL THEM FIRST. It is never, ever a good idea to take newborns in to a vet's office. First, because they could pick up germs and other baddies they didn't have before and second, because most vets don't know how to properly care for such little ones.
It may be that your vet will allow you to bring in only Momma to diagnose and isolate the problem. He may also be able to give you meds (if necessary) for the babies to take home and treat there.

how old are the kittens? You will want to be concerned as to whether the cold is limiting the kittens ability to nurse...stuffy nose not so good for that.
Bottle feeding can help because they dont have to latch on and then fall back off as much with you controlling the flow of milk and latching back on.
Good luck

the little ones are 2 weeks old today (wens) they are still nursing well from what i can tell but we now have noticed one is a bit of a runt. doesnt seem to be growing as fast as other three. I will be phoning the vet this afternoon for an appointment either thurs or friday so fingers crossed.
p.s
all of the little ones eyes are opening and they are looking around as if they wanna explore but still dont have the stability
