The mom who stopped nursing was vaccinated late term. I cannot prevent rabies vaccinations from happening; it is against the law to transfer an animal out of a public shelter without it. Even if it would kill the animal.
However, she appears to have started both eating and nursing again. *She's* sick too. Pretty definite URI. My vet says I can't give her zithro and also give the kittens zithro while she is nursing. Says there are no studies. I've also got fleas, and he won't let me capstar them until they are 2 lb (which seems to be taking forever) and i can't bathe them as they are sick (well, I could, but I'm not).

I have not ruled out anything. My rescue can't afford necropsies on each kitten:(. They *all* seem much, much better after the switch to zithro. But it is only the snowshoe I'm convinced died of URI.
