If your kitten just sneezes once or twice, there is nothing to worry about. If your kitten seems to be sneezing constantly, this could be cause to worry. There are several different reasons your kitten could be sneezing. Lets look at a few of them.
Your kitten could be suffering from allergies. Did you know that kittens could be allergic to a big variety of things, juts like humans? These include allergies to dust, pollen, mold, cigarette smoke, chemicals, carpet cleaners, aerosols, candle smoke, dust in kitty litter and some other things. Just like when a human being gets hay fever, or is allergic to dust they often sneeze, a kitten with allergies often sneezes as a reaction.
Upper Respiratory Infection. Basically this is the common cat flu. It is highly contagious, just like a human flu and affects your kitten in a similar way. Your kitten will be affected in the mouth, nose and sinus areas cause by bacteria, viruses and fungi. Some other things you may spot your kitten displaying are fever, wet nose, watery eyes and coughing.
A kitten could also be sneezing because a foreign object is stuck in its respiratory tract. If this is a case - you should be able to see if something there by using a flashlight. You can attempt to remove the object with tweezers, but it would be a good idea to take her to the vet.
Although it is rare in young kittens, tooth decay may be the culprit behind your kittens sneezing. You will see these things if your kitten has tooth decay, bad breath, puss around the mouth and swollen gums. You need to take your kitten to the vet to get checked out, and to be advised about the necessary treatment.
When your kitten has been affect by sneezing, she will need to be examined by a veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to advise you on what steps towards treatment need to be taken. - 31851
