They are on the young side, and will show more interest around 5-6 weeks, but may not fully wean until 7-8 weeks. Even then, kittens continue to nurse their moms. It's a process!

If they are eating solids it's time for litter box training. You need a kitten-sized pan with non-clumping litter in case they taste it. Start putting them in before and after meals and naps, and various other times. Take a little paw and show them how to dig. At their age they should catch on very quickly!

The vet will give you ointment for the eye infection. Wipe it with a warm, damp cloth to keep it open and clean until then. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Just keep putting them in. They will catch on. Where have they been peeing and pooping until now?

Okay, that's nice. It's time for them to start learning the litter box. Are they eating wet food and kitten chow now?

She really must go to the vet. Sorry, this is the definition of an emergency. Can you apply for care credit or borrow money from a friend or family member?

It may already be too late, but either way she should be put to sleep instead of suffering. Did this come on suddenly? Did she go outside at all? Eat anything she shouldn't have?
