kitten sneezing

[amron]

ok it's late on a friday night but my 8 week old kitten has started sneezing...it's every few seconds should i be worried now or will the vets in the morning be ok..tanks

i had a similar problem with my kitten @ 8 weeks too. the vet told me that its normal for this to happen but if he starts to get a buildup around his nose he needs immediate attention because a cat will not eat if he cannot smell. he did get a buildup and was immediately taken to the vet where he was given a antibiotic called clavamil or clavamox or something like that.

Sorry not to have spotted this before, amron, or I'd have answered sooner. I doubt the sneezing is anything serious, if s/he is otherwise well. Did you know that cats & humans can transmit their colds to one another? I wouldn't panic even tomorrow if s/he's running about and interested in eating and drinking.

thanks i've not had cats before and i didn't know what to think. it's running about quite happily ...just sneezing...i have the sniffles myself just now maybe thats it.....thanks for putting my mind at rest

happy to help but please be sure to keep an eye on his nose for buildup.
