My about 7 week-old kitten sounds like he has a cold. He sounds raspy, sneezing, and has a small little speck of brown by his nose (it is not always there)?

Teddy may have an upper respiratory infection. Often times these are viral and will resolve with time. If he stops eating or drinking, is lethargic, or has mucoid discharge, he should be taken to his veterinarian for treatment.
