I’ve found a day or two days old kitten and I’ve been taking care of it for the last three days. I’ve noticed that it sneezes a few times a day and it has a wet nose, he also has never pooped. today it’s sleeping for five hours without being hungry.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zuhal. Great job on rescuing him! I recommend that he sees a veterinarian to ensure thst he is healthy. Sneezing can be a sign of an upper respiratory tract infection. You will need to estimate his genital region after he eats to help him urinate and defecate. A mother cat would do this after nursing. I hope this information helps!
