Soupy poop will most likely require worming and antibiotics.
In the meantime, do not limit food. Kittens need as much as they can eat to grow.

We are going to the vet tomorrow. Looks like a botfly or something.

Ask the vet about the soupy poop while you are there.
Let us know how it goes. Those kittens are very lucky to have found you

So... Botfly it was. They were all treated for worms and soupy poopy butt is constipated. The vet said absolutely no nursing. Said kittens with teeth have no business nursing. Back to the isolation crate for two weeks. Now what to with the one running around with Scotch tape stuck to his nose! So cute. So high maintenance. Thanks to everyone for the advice and support. I so needed it.
How was the botfly treated? And how was the constipation dealt with?
I disagree with the vet though about nursing. Mama kitties nurse kittens with teeth all the time.

In agree, i have had outside mamas nurse 6 month old kittens. They wean on their own, and are not nice about it! But they still let them nurse every so often.

I gave soupy poopy butt the correctol (1/4 pill) the vet instructed me too but no movement yet and he is clearly uncomfortable. Still eating and drinking normal. Pedialite. A&D ointment. DailyDbath with multiple bum cleanings. I'm wondering if I should give him miralax instead. Seems to be the go to treatment on this site. Any thoughts?
Just be careful not to over do it. Give the other a full 24-48 hours to work. I give 1/8 -1/4 teaspoon of Miralax to my cats when they are constipated, and so far it has worked every time! I mixed it in tuna juice, just a small amount, or a beat egg yolk.
I, too, have had success with Miralaxi with cats.
Or drops of olive oil in the wet food.

We have had success! My husband gave him another dose of the correctol yesterday so I held off on the miralax. Soupy poopy bum had a movement this morning. Now he is taking a nap. We are well armed for a repeat issue. Correctol, miralax, Pedialyte and infant enemas.
My first litter rescue and I now know how to deal with brain trauma, constipation and botflies.

Honestly, talk about being thrown right out into the middle of the lake and told to swim!! You and your hubs are AMAZING!!
(--oh, by the way, if by chance you were to utilize any egg white, that part of the egg must be cooked.)

Good to know. He was still miserable so we had to do a kitten enema last night. Another first. Harder for kitty than it is for me. He forgave me quickly. Hope he had some relief overnight.

Ok. So I gave soupy poopy bum an enema last night and was disappointed to not find any poop in the litter box in the crate. But after I feed them and put my glasses on I found the poop. His sister was covered in poop. He pooped all over his sister!
