Am I making my 6 week old kitten sick?
Question: My kitten Chicken is 7 1/2 weeks old, I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. I really didn't know anything about kittens and it seems like everything you shouldn't do I did. First I got clumping litter and that a no no until there 4 months old, she was also going behind the dresser and it's dusty back there, the weather has been in the triple digits so the airconditioner has been on didn't know that the room temperature should be at least 75 degrees. A couple of days ago she started sneezing, then her right eye started to run now it sounds like her nose is stuffed up when I tried to feed her tonight she couldn't smell the food to eat it she goes nuts when she hears the spoon hit the plate and nows it's time to eat but she tries to smell it first and can't. I'm worried that I may have made her sick with the airconditioner what can I do? Please help Chicken Answer: Please please take your kitten to the vet. She is still very young and an illness can hurt her more than an older, larger cat. Answer: We all live and learn,you are not the only one not knowing about the clumping litter Hopefully your kitten will be ok, but she needs a vet,a respiratory problem or cold can be very serious for a wee baby.They are very fragile at that age. Two of my cats got an eyeproblem from what the vet believed to be the a/c,luckily it went away without meds,but they are grown cats. Answer: Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
