So its been almost a week since the accident and the kitten has completely recovered from that but both kittens have an upper respitory infection(viral) due to cold or whatever(the vet said probably due to cold). Their eyes are gunky and close shut because I can't be home all day to constantly clean them. I have been cleaning their eyes and nose and mouth every night when I get home, even if its at like 330am and I have to be up at 6. The vet said that aslong as I cleaned them, that it would go away and so far it hasn't gotten any better. I tried to make a warmer nest but Yen and the kittens won't stay where its warm..Any suggestions...(I even got a little heating pack from the vet to help). And one more thing...I'm pretty sure the kittens have lost weight....this last week I haven't been home very much so I have been able to see how often they're nursing if at all.Yen seems very detatched from the kittens and she never used to be. I had to sleep with the kittens last night because she left them so I cuddled them to keep them warm...Is it because they are getting older (4 1/2 weeks)? I just need some over all advice!
