Hey everyone, I am starting to get concerned about my little 3 week old kitten, Tango. His brother, Musashi, and him both went to the vet on Monday for a check up. The vet said Tango did have a small cold, as he was sneezing and had some snot up his nose, but he said not to worry about it since it was not severe. Since then, starting late last night, I noticed Tango is getting worse. He is more congested, sneezes more often, has some snot dripping out of his nose, and has a slight loss of appetite. I just called me vet and they advised me to just keep an eye on him and if he gets worse to bring him in tomorrow. Does this sound safe? Should I bring him in immediately? I have been weighing him, and he has not lost weight. He's about 15.5oz. He is still playful at times, but not as much as he was on Monday when this was a less severe cold. Since last night, he appears to be a little weak and lethargic.
How concerned should I really be? I mean, other than this recent illness he has been great. eating, growing, playing, and learning at a normal rate.
Also, is there any treatment I can give him you would suggest? Should i suck the snot out of his nose to help his breathing? If so, what should i get to do it? Is there any cold medicine i can buy for kittens at petco? Anything, please let me know.
Thanks. I hope my baby is OK.
