Hello, my six month kitten started sneezing. Every few hours he sneezes. He has not had this symptom. What can be causing this? Should I be concern? Should I take him to see the vet? Thank you!

Poor Ravioli! The two most common reasons for sneezing are infection (most common) or allergies (less common). Here is a link about infection just in case: https://www.petcoach.co/article/sneezing-and-feline-upper-respiratory-disease/ Lysine supplements for cats can help. Ravioli may need to be examined by the veterinarian if he starts not eating well, not drinking well, acting lethargic, if his eyes start to have problems, if he has green or yellow discharge from eyes or nose or if he gets worse. I hope he starts feeling better and please feel free to post any additional questions.
