Re: I think my new kittens are ill.
Firstly did they have a chlamydia jab? This can give them a bit of a cold and runny (not crusty eyes), secondly Birmans do tend to gather crustiness in the corner of their eyes due to the shape of their face, just wipe it away. Minnii hates having her eyes done but it is needed.
If they are sneezing and have runny noses they could have a small bit of cat flu - they can still get a mild dose even when vacinated - the stress of moving can set this type of thing off. If you are worried or they get worse a quick pop tot he vets would be worthwhile. WHen we got Mnnii she had horrid eyes, caused by the chlamydia jabs and the stress of an 8 hour journey to get to us, poor lass.
It might be that Rocky isn't too keen on dry food (sensible cat IMHO), I always feel you can't really overfeed kittens at this point they are growing so quickly. I'd give him more of the wet to encourage him to eat and put on a bit of weight, as the boy he should really be the bigger of the two even at this age. Just noticed that Rocky is only 12 weeks (he shouldn't have been sold on until 13 weeks to comply with GCCF guidelines) - when was his last jab? Ah, but noticed on the website that breeder only registers individual cats on request.
Let me know how you get on.
