Kitten Question

[tiki244]

I got a kitten today at 3 o clock. She has been sleeping all day. I have noticed that she sneezes a little. Does anyone know what her temperature should be? TY KRIS

I am not sure what a kittens temp should be, but if she is sneezing then that is usually a good sign that a URI is on the way. How old is she?? I would take her to the vet when you can.

well according to google, the normal temp is 99-102.

I will take her temp. They said she was 8 wks old.

Best to take her to a vet as soons as possible. Rhino is a very contagious and very common. It can be treated and won't be so bad. One of my guys had it and got over it but he was always a bit sick.

Yup, agreed. Probably URI which are SO very common in kittens. A course of antibiotics will help the kitten with the associated symptoms (crusty eyes, secondary bac infection of the bronchi, etc).

I love kittens! Can you post pics?

Take her to the vet. It sounds like an URI (upper resportory infection).

Also, make sure she's eating between now and then. These little tiny guys can go downhill so quickly when they stop eating.

Temp shouldn't be over 102

The vet said that she is not sick- I was just overreacting I guess-She got her first shot and yes I will take pics and post soon- She looks like a Crele colored kittenstripes with every color
