Good you are headed to the vet, as not eating and diarrhea are not normal for 8 weeks. Perhaps they need a round of Albon.
They are just precious!

My parents are going to foster Dyra (mama) while we are on vacation and see how she meshes with their cats (they have some strong personalities in their house). Whether or not everyone gets along will be the deciding factor! I hope they keep her!They are so precious!!! I always got too attached to my foster cats and dogs. It's so hard taking them back, but you know they'll get good forever homes...and then there's the "next round" needing your help. Bless you for taking such good care of these kittens and their momma! Hopefully their not eating isn't anything serious...they look great.
Did your parents decide about adopting momma cat?
Please make sure they do a proper slow introduction! There shouldn’t be any contact while the cats are showing any signs of reaction.My parents are going to foster Dyra (mama) while we are on vacation and see how she meshes with their cats (they have some strong personalities in their house).

Yep, they're seasoned pro's. I'm sure they'll keep her in a separate room for the first several nights. Hubby and I are going to be gone for almost 3 weeks, so they'll have lots of time.Please make sure they do a proper slow introduction!

Yep! He has medium length hair and the other two have short.Stunningly beautiful kittens gorgeously photographed! Does Lentil have longer hair than his sibs?
I'm not sure! I do think though, had little Chia survived, she would have had medium hair also. I've read that longer haired cats tend to have lower birth weights, and she and lentil were both born quite tiny and with very similar markings. I'm curious about how the genetics work too!I don't know about cat genetics. Does that mean the father was long-haired so it averages out to medium with Lentil, or was the father medium-haired & two take after the mom and one the dad?
That’s great, but be sure to manage expectations. It could take more than 3 weeks for face to face interactions to work.Yep, they're seasoned pro's.

Yeah, unfortunately mom really doesn't want to let them nurse most of the time. When they were all in the carrier together, she didn't really have a choice because of the close quarters. I'm just totally perplexed by the sudden refusal to eat food after weeks of eating consistently. So bizarre. It had to be some kind of bug - hopefully the meds clear it up!Ideally, kittens eat soft food and kitten chow, and continue to nurse mom for 12-16 weeks. They get less and less milk, but enjoy suckling mom for comfort. If at all possible, give them more time with mom.
They may have a little bug. Glad you got the metronidazole.
