My kittens died with bloody stool. How to prevent illness in others?

Question

I have two 7 week old kittens that recently passed away. They had stopped eating, couldn't stand, and they wouldn't blink or dilate their pupils. They would occasionally scream out in pain whenever I moved them up right. They also had constant bloody liquid stool that was yellow/tan. Im very curious as to how they died and how to prevent the other kittens from catching what they had. Please no vet recommendations.

The may have died from an infection and dehydration since they had constant bloody liquid stools. Those kittens may have had weaker immune systems than the rest. Without actually doing some testing, it is impossible to know for sure. The best way to prevent the other kittens from catching what they had would be to disinfect everything, deworm the other kittens, and make sure they are vaccinated properly. If they start showing any signs of illness than they should be examined by a vet right away. Hope the rest of the kittens stay healthy!
