Hi I have a kitten that seemed healthy then today she just started sneezing then she lays down and slept for around 15 minutes then she got up walked to the corner and threw up. I am very concerned. Thank you.


Dear Asia,

Without knowing significantly more information about your kitten and her cat illness symptoms, there is no way for me to say what is going on.

You have not mentioned how old your kitten is. A sneeze here or there in cats is not necessarily a concern, but if it is accompanied by colored discharge from your kitten's nose or eyes, a lack of appetite, or change in behavior, it is. Lethargy and vomiting can also be signs that your cat is sick.

With these three symptoms put together, even without knowing your cat's age or the frequency of these episodes, I would recommend bringing her to a veterinarian for an exam as soon as possible. It is always better to be safe than sorry!

Best wishes,
Dr. Neely
