Kitten Uri

[Ardina]

I recently adopted a 12-week-old kitten named Mishka. I've noticed her sneezing a lot and licking her nose over the past few days. The droplets that she sneezes are clear. I haven't seen much discharge from her nose or eyes. She's eating, peeing, and pooping well and running around as usual being a hyper little kitten. She doesn't have any difficulty breathing.

Is this something that I need to take her to the vet for antibiotics? Or will it clear up on its own?

She and my 2-year-old cat, Saipha, often play together and groom each other. I'm worried that Saipha is going to catch the URI too. I'd hate to separate them, and would it even help since Saipha has already been exposed?

It sounds like a cold. I would see whether it resolves or turns into an infection this week. If it gets worse you'll need to see the vet.

I think the other cat has already been exposed.

Thank you for advice! I'll keep an eye on both of them for the next week or so.
