Answers:
Call your vet and tell them about the other kittens symptoms. Did the vet check for FeLV and FIV ? Sometimes this can be a symptom.
Otherwise I found this less serious problem:
An example of a mild case is a kittenhood condition called *Limping Cali.* Having corresponded with a Canadian Cat-Only Veterinarian several years ago when I first heard of this in some catteries and pet homes, I will relate her views on this condition. It is a strain of the Calicivirus. The most notable symptoms are limping and fever. As far as the way a kitten contracts it, some believe that adult cats who are carriers of this strain of Calicivirus can transmit it to kittens, while others believe that it is a reaction to the actual Calicivirus vaccine itself, usually displaying symptoms about a week after a vaccination. Even though some Veterinarians may prescribe a mild antibiotic like Clavamox (Augmentin) for its treatment, it will clear up on its own within 48 hours without any medication at all. During this time, the caregiver needs to make sure the kitten is eating and staying hydrated with plenty of water. It is also important to keep the kitten as stress-free and quiet as possible. Limping Cali can affect any breed of kitten due to its mode of transmission.
Take them to the vet !!!
your kitten might have a clogged artery or blood vessel or a fracture it would be best to take it to a vet asap
Your vet will be better able to answer that question, she's the expert and has the opportunity to examine the cats personally. Take them both in for another checkup.
Take them to the vet again, and try to figure out what's really going on and where this bug - if it is a bug - is getting to them. It sounds as if whatever it is might actually be in your room, so that should be high priority!
