Poor kitty. Linkin may have an upper airway infection. If this continues for more than 24 hrs, then its best to get Linkin evaluated by your vet for a proper exam and treatment. If there is an infection present, then a short course of antibiotics are needed to clear things up. I hope that your furry friend feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.

    Thank you for submitting your question regarding Linkin. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. I worry that he has acquired an upper respiratory tract infection as these are common in young kittens. If so, he will likely need antibiotics. It is best to have him seen soon. Young kittens can become very sick quickly due to their small size. I hope this information helps!
