Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hello, yes they can develop some sickness. Kittens especially can develop respiratory infections. Other infections however may include intestinal parasites and other viral infections. I would recommend having kit evaluated if she continues to feel unwell tomorrow. Monitor for any sneezing, coughing, nasal or ocular discharge. Also look for any vomiting or diarrhea. Best of luck and hope this helps!!
