sick

Hi,  we had a litter of kittens that were approx 6-7 weeks ago, several weeks ago they were very active, playful, cute but within the last week they have all developed pus filled eyes, diarrhea, loss of appetite and become lethargic.  I have heard of something called Feline Leukemia?  Is it possible that they have this, we have another adult female that has had diarrhea but no other symptoms and last year we had a litter of kittens a few of them died within a couple of weeks of birth but then some of them seemed to develop symptoms but grew out of it.  Would you have any idea what we could be dealing with and what can be done?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your kittens sound like they have cat flu, My kittens had cat flu, went to the vet had medication they are all fine and dandy now.

BUt there also mighht be something more serious, You NEED to get your cat to the vet and the kittens and she needs to be spayed. Because naturally in a week she will go out and get pregnant again, because its what they do!

Keep her inside untill she has been spayed!
and get them all check and sorted.

do you live on a farm? why do you allow these cats to continue to breed and produce sick kittens?
Have any of them kittens or mother ever had vaccinations?
There is a very good chance you have an out break of some virus with all your kitties...could be FeLv(feline leukemia) or FIV (feline aids)
YOur cats really need to be seen by a Vet and you really need to have the females spayed and not reproducing sick kittens.
these virus's will continue to spread to any cat that has contact with yours.
please do whats right and have a Vet see them and soon.
