My rescued kittens have eye/nose infections. Can I treat them at home?

Question

We recently rescued two kittens from the streets. They came to us with bad eye infections. They also appear to have infection coming out of their noses. What can I do to help them heal? I cannot afford a vet and would really like to help them here at home. They are the sweetest things. Loving the attention they are getting. Sorry. These are the only photos I have of them for the moment. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

They most likely have upper respiratory infections (URI) and will need antibiotics (both oral and topical in the eyes). If you are going to adopt/rescue kittens you need to be able to afford veterinary care. They are going to need vaccines, deworming and to be spayed/neutered as well. So, if you can't afford their treatment you should consider relinquishing them to the local Humane Society so they can get treated. This is not something you can treat at home, I'm sorry to say. All that being said, there are many low cost/affordable vet clinics in your area (based on the zip code you provided) so if you really want to keep them then find a clinic and get them treated. You may have to drive closer to Tampa. I know ACT has a regular vet clinic as well as spay/neuter/vaccination services.
