I have 5 kittens 1 1/2 months old. 2 of the 5 have sensitive eyes to light, the eyes turn out to the side and are crusted shut after sleeping. They eat and drink a lot especially water and have diarreah and throw up sometimes. I'm on disability and am trying to fix this if possible without a vet bill. Please help, thanks nooney1256

It's distemper, the mother should have been immunized before she became pregnant. This is a "childhood disease" of kittens that can be fatal.

By allowing your cat to get pregnant, you have little lives in your hands that need your help. You owe it to them to take them to the vet. It could simply be an upper respiratory infection coupled with worms or coccidia, or it could be a lot worse. Vet, now.

Try contacting your local humane society and seeing if they know of any vets or programs that can help low-income pet owners be able to afford vet care. Even if it's just a payment plan.
