Location: Kansas | I suggest this: http://www.revivalanimal.com/Vetericyn-Ophthalmic-Gel.html
I've had excellent luck with it on my barn kitties, all 8 of them had the eye issues as well |

yes they are sneezing.
They could also have a respiratory infection as well if they are sneezing, it can cause crusty/watery eyes. |

yes. Normally a medication is prescribed, along with isolation (but since both could have it I wouldnt worry about it), lots of water and rest for the kitties. If left untreated, they can sometimes get pneumonia. |

they give them amoxicillin, same stuff you give your kids. 10 days and they are over it. Take their temp and if they are running a fever I would call the vet and ask if you can pick up some antibiotics. Not sure if you have that good of a relationship with your vet or not. |
