Humans in fact can catch certain infections and viruses from animals. Also "human" medicine is also animal medicine. Check out the labels next time your kitty gets an infection or tummy ache. You may have the same drug, for the same thing.Their's is ofcourse in a much lower dose.

No worries, your babies will be just fine.
Just incase watch their eyes. If a kitten gets a cold that is the first place most times it appears. And can be treated with an inexpensive medicine. I know I am not much help, but, at one time I lived on a farm and had many many cats and kittens.
I do not recommend treating cats with over the counter products (espcecially URIs) unless you have been given the ok by a vet.Originally Posted by MamaSquishy

I was talking about a medicine you can only get from the vet. The name escapes me right now.
