Okay Guys and Gals,
I need some advice. I have a 9 week old litter with 3 or 4 kittens sneezing/coughing. It started with Mom and one kitten and now the number has grown. No fever, no lethargy; all are eating and playing as kittens should. Mom had a runny eye when we got her but none of the kittens show any sign of that symptom. A few trips to the Vet have revealed nothing and she is as much at a loss as I am. I have ordered a Nebulizer thinking it may be a URI but I hate to treat with antibiotics if it isn't necessary as I don't want them to build an immunity to the drugs. I am vaccinating tonight with a 4 way for their first shots and will do Mom as well. I am also considering placing a humidifier in their room. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.
Pete
