how young is your kitten?and how bad do you think the cold is? if it is just a little cold you might be able to fix your little baby up at home but if not and if your kiten is whizing and has mucus coming from the nose and runny eyes you need to take it to the vet.and if your kitten is younger then 3 weeks you have to keep a very close eye on it to make sure it feeds and is not getting anyworse if it does take it striaght to the vet.

and if it is older like a month in age and up it would be easier to take care of by puting a thing called "upper respiratory remedy" i get the kind for ferrets because i own ferrets aswell as cats but you could probably get it at petsmart. all you have to do is dab alittle on its chest and a very small amont right above its little nose you should porbaly put it on the bedding and not directly on the kitten if it is younger then 3 weeks i would recommend taking it to the vet first but this should help it has helped alot of kittens my family has rescued.

i hope your little baby gets better all the best.

Coughing , sneezing , running eyes and nose is a sign that your cat is suffering from cold. Proper care of your pet is a better solution than medication. For example , place your kitten in a room with moderate temperature and give her necessary meals that are slightly warm.

I used to work for a vet and when a cat got a cold it was considered serious and quite contagious. Call your vet ASAP.

Can you give cat flu to other cats?

No. Cat flu can only infect cats. Cat flu, like a human cold, is contagious, so cat flu can spread quickly in a multi-cat household. If your cat starts sneezing, become lethargic, off its food, has mucus coming from its eyes or nose you should take them to the vet & have them checked out. Most vets will often prescribe a week-long dose of antibiotics. Never use your own medicine on your pet.

How can you get your sick 10 week old kitten to start eating more?

When they are sick (if it is cat flu) they will not have appetite since their sense of smell will fade. You have to take your cat to a veterinarian to give you a recipe for your cat to be healthy again, and he will start eating again.
