The sneezing is most likely from being exposed to viruses is the air at the veterinary clinic. This is like kids going to school and getting sick from being around lots of different children. The vaccinations protect against upper respiratory infections but they can still get a mild case. Mr. Kitty should rest and he'll be fine in a few days to a week. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Mr. Kitty.
