My kitten is sneezing, has a runny nose, and watery eyes. Is it a URI?

Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

Hi, my kitten can't stop sneezing and making sounds as if he wants to take smth out of his nose. He has liquid transparent snots in his nose and I also noticed his left eye teardropping. It all started yesterday. He eats well but is not so active. He has been vaccinated with Felocell-4 and his litter is made of wood, we dont have any flowers or anything smelly in the house. Our vet gave us a product that would better Memphis' immune system, but is it what we need? What could it be with my cat?

I'm sorry to hear that Memphis is having this problem. It is certainly possible that he has an upper respiratory infection even if he has been vaccinated with Felocell-4. I am attaching more information on upper respiratory infections below. https://www.vin.com/veterinarypartner/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951489 Since most upper respiratory infections are viral, the only treatment option we have are products to stimulate the immune system (like your vet gave you). However, if Memphis stops eating or his congestion gets worse, I would certainly contact your veterinarian. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoach.
