I recently brought home 2 stray kittens. After about 2 weeks my dog and my child have red spots/sores. I am at a lost on what plan of action I need to take.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While it is possible that they could have developed some sort of allergy, infection or medical condition from the cats I would say it also possible that there is another reason for this. I would recommend that you consider having Diesel evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and of course your child evaluated by the pediatrician. They can then determine if this is really something from the cats or separate conditions/issues and start therapy accordingly. Best of luck!
