Newborn Kitten Sneezing A Lot
If your cat is sneezing a lot your veterinarian may initially suspect a cause based on a review of your cat s symptoms.
Newborn kitten sneezing a lot. They are now 2 days old and setup in my living room with mom cat. A simple tickle in the cat s nose such as a bit of dust or a mild chemical irritant can cause a reflexive sneeze. Primarily newborns sneeze a lot because they have to. An occasional sneeze isn t a symptom of a serious problem but constant sneezing especially when accompanied by nasal discharge and lethargy or lack of appetite could be a sign of an illness.
This kitten is up for adoption by the way. Newborns have smaller nasal passages than adults and may have to literally clear their noses more often than adults do since they can get. He will likely sleep through most of his time only waking long enough to eat. Sneezing is usually a sign of upper respiratory disease.
Think of the animated cat that sneezes when he inhales a bit of pepper. A simple benign tickle this may be the most obvious cause for sneezing. 4 seem to be eating really well and have fat round bellies but 1 doesn 39 t seem to be. His vision will gradually develop from seeing blurry images to clarity.
If the bacterial infections are chlamydophila or mycoplasma the antibiotics doxycycline or chloramphenicol are used however these can have side effects such as anorexia appetite loss and fever. I noticed that 3 of the 4 are sneezing and sound really congested. In some cases the vet may. During these days he may respond little to sound because he has little or no hearing nor is he able to see.
One of the main causes of sneezing is infection. If your kitten is sneezing you may worry that something is seriously wrong. My kitten is sneezing that is one of the most common complaints of people with new kittens. A stray cat has given birth to 5 kittens on my front steps in the rain.
A newborn kitten can squirm a little but it will take him a few days before he will even attempt to walk on his wobbly legs.
