The 2 kittens I am hand-raising are now 10 days old. Unforunately last night I noticed that the black kittens seemed to have the sniffles. Now, tonight, the white one has them too.
The black kitten seems to also have a slight runny nose. It's not nasty green boogers, just clear liquid.
Are they going to be ok? Is it normal for kittens to get a cold? How did they get it? I keep their box nice and warm and change the hot bottle and bag every 4 hours. Also, they are in my room the whole time and I only have the AC on at night and even then it's on 77 degrees and the kitten's box is well covered to keep it from getting cold at all.
Do I need to take them to the vet or should I wait and see if it blows over? They are still eating a TON(more then they should for their weight, lol) and are VERY active(keep trying to climb out of the box). As well, their eyes are starting to open and they are nice and clear. Their poo is normal as well. Other then the slight clear discharge in the nose, they seem perfectly healthy.
Am I being a worry bug?
