My kitten is sneezing, runny nose, and struggling to breathe. Home care?

Question

My 1 month old kitten is sneezing and she had a runny nose like whenever she breath, there's a sound and it's like she can't breath properly. Is there anything I can do just at home because I don't have any money for the vet clinic? Please help.. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 11 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Pongkoy! Most upper respiratory infections in cats are viral. If the discharge from his nose is clear then you can just monitor him. Hopefully he can clear the viral infection. If he is lethargic, not eating, and/or the discharge changes to yellow or green he would need to see a Veterinarian for antibiotics. I would clear his nose a couple of times a day and you can keep him in a steamy bathroom twice a day for 10-15 mins. Be sure that you start Pongkoys kitten vaccinations in the next 1-2 weeks. I hope this helps and I wish Pongkoy the best!
