Glad the delivery went smoothly!

Please take mom's collar off. Kittens can get tangled in it.

Some of the kittens look tiny. Can you weigh them every day to make sure they are gaining?

She needs a nest with blankets.

And are you keeping mom 100% inside and away from intact males?

Are you feeding mom unlimited kitten food?

Can you weigh them? They may need to be supplemented with kitten milk replacer, or they will not make it.

Is mom staying 100% inside with kittens?

I do hope that you are able to get mom spayed when the kittens are 8 weeks old! It is so hard on them and there are so many homeless cats/kittens. Where are you from? We can probably help you find a low cost spay clinic in your area! Were you able to talk to your neighbor about fixing the dad cat?

Hello again! The kittens had open their eyes a few days ago! But sadly each one of their eyes are getting sore or infected everyday it's always close and full with crustyness. i clean them with warm water. Do u know anything that i could do instead of a vet option?

They need teramycin antibiotic ointment. The vet can sell this to you, or you can buy it from some petstores and from Amazon.

Terramycin is not sold at pet stores, but it is available at tractor supply and online without a prescription.

Use it 2 times a day on each kittens eyes for 5 days.

In the meantime, continue keeping their eyes clear of goop with a warm, damp cloth.

It's very important that you don't let the eyes get stuck closed. They can lose their sight if the pus builds up behind the eye.
