What to Do If a Pregnant Cat Catches a Cold
A pregnant cat's immunity dips, so even small weather changes can trigger a cold. For a mild cold, warmth and good nutrition are often enough for a quick recovery, but frequent sneezing and runny nose need prompt action—lingering illness harms both the cat and the kittens she carries. Keep her warm (a cozy bed or a sweater), take her to a vet (pregnancy limits drug choice and dose, so tell the vet and get checked before any medication—never self-medicate), and balance her diet while avoiding strenuous exercise. The pregnancy is about 63 days: in the first 30 days add nutrition (protein, egg yolk, chicken, wet food); after 30 days control portions and add vitamins and calcium. Under a vet's guidance, gentler herbal formulas may be used safely.
