[shadowpaints]

what cuties! they look close to 6 weeks old

they are adorable!

for the eye try taking a wash rag and soaking it in warm water then holding it on the eye for a few minutes. good for you for helping these babies!

awww! poor thing! well, keep trying, have you tried maybe wrapping her snugly in a towel? the gunky eyes are a pain... i have raised about 20 litters of kittens and boy are they tough!

Yeah thats next tonight when i feed them at 11pm im hoping that will hold them off until in the morning about 7 or 8Am cause i have to feed them about every 4 hours and i thought i would feed them the milk replacer for about a week or so to keep fattening them up and get all those nutrients they lost from having those fleas on them and being malnourished from that low life who had them all this time and didn't take proper care of them and also i forget to mention when i saw the black kitten trying to pee it look like she was having alot of trouble pushing it out cause it look like it was thick and it came out in a drop form i dont think thats normal

At this age, they would likely be drinking a little water as well as milk. They may be a bit dehydrated. I would offer them a little water every little bit as well.

Maybe you should consider taking them to a vet for an actual check up? When one cat gets sick, you can expect it to jump from one to another like wildfire.

This is absolutely the best idea, IMO...when I worked as a wildlife rehabber we got lots of kittens dumped off and this is what we used. Safe for cats and if any gets left on them by mistake, it's much safer for them to lick than any other cleaner. You can use it on a lot of animals.
