Shorty has been sneezing and snotting the past couple of days. Now he's making these mild snorting noises. I can't get him to the vet until Monday. What can I do to relieve some of his symptoms?

Poor Shorty! He may be congested. Try bringing him into the bathroom with you when you take a shower or putting him in a room with a humidifier. The steam from these may help with his congestion. Make sure he is eating, gently warming canned food if his appetite has gone down. I hope this helps!
