What are symptoms of teething in kittens? My kitten has been getting dirty ears, runny eyes, and sneezing every so often. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered | 2 months and 17 days old | 1.4 lbs

We don't often see signs of teething in puppies and kittens like we do in humans. The symptoms you describe could be indicative of an upper respiratory infection, which are common in kittens. If Wolfgang has not yet been examined by a veterinarian, now would be a great time to get him looked over! Oftentimes respiratory infections are viral and if mild may not require treatment, but sometimes they worsen and may require medication to treat.
