Kitten Cold: Symptoms and Care
Kitten colds move through three stages — early (dry warm nose, mild sneezes, normal appetite), middle (low energy, red eyes, fast breathing, thick discharge), and late (eye and nose crusting, mouth ulcers, fever) — and can mimic panleukopenia or rhinotracheitis, so don't delay. Warmth, nutrition, and vet-approved meds (never human pills) are the plan, with vaccination as prevention.

A kitten 'cold' is usually an upper respiratory infection — sneezing, runny nose, fever, watery eyes — driven by chill and weak immunity, and sometimes herpes or calicivirus. Keep it warm, boost nutrition (lysine, taurine), and see a vet if temperature tops 39.5°C.

What Are the Symptoms of Cat Flu (Feline Rhinotracheitis) in a Kitten?

How can you tell if a kitten has a high temperature?
A kitten's normal temperature is 37.5C to 39.2C. If its temperature exceeds 39.5C, it is generally considered elevated or feverish.
I just brought a kitten home, about half a month old, with constant yellow eye discharge that comes back after wiping.
Yellow discharge likely means conjunctivitis—clean with saline/pet wash, apply antibacterial drops and erythromycin ointment, and use a collar. With runny nose/fever, suspect herpesvirus; see a vet.
