Kittens stopped eating, have diarrhea. How to treat at home?

Question

I have three 3 months old kittens 2 males and 1 female, they stopped eating 4 days ago and have diarrhea, they lost a lot of weight, but drink a little bit of water. My other cats are not sick. So I went to the local vet and he told me that they need injections which were pretty expensive, but I don't have the money and I'm looking up for a solution which will help me cure them at home. Can you help me please...

I'm sorry to hear the kittens are so sick. Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do about a bacterial or viral infection at home. Things you can do would be to give them water with a syringe or eye dropper. Each kitten should get about 90ml of water in a 24 hour period. Make sure they are staying warm and clean. You could also give them Lysine which may not be hard to find, each kitten will get 250mg every 12 hours. I would also call the veterinarian back and ask if there is an oral antibiotic you could give the kittens as this is less expensive. Best of luck, I hope they get better soon.
