Babies just born may encounter some minor health issues during life. Sometimes, kittens catch a cold, so what should be done? Here is an introduction to caring for a kitten with a cold.

First, determine if it is a cold

First, confirm whether the kitten really has a cold by observing its behavior. If the kitten shows coughing, runny nose, sore throat, fever, and other symptoms, it can be judged that it has caught a cold.

Second, pay attention to rest

When having a cold, the kitten needs enough rest. Let it rest fully, try not to let it overexert or catch a chill or sweat, as these may worsen the condition.

Third, feed warm food

During a cold, the kitten can be fed warm food such as chicken soup, pork soup, catfish soup, etc. The food should not be too greasy or hard to chew. Feeding more fresh vegetables and fruits can provide sufficient nutrition.

Fourth, administer medication promptly

When the kitten has a cold, it needs timely medication. Consult a professional veterinarian to give the correct medicine so it can recover health faster.

Fifth, regular check-ups

During the kitten's cold, regularly check its temperature. If there are changes, promptly visit the veterinary hospital for examination to handle the condition in time.

Summary

If a newborn kitten catches a cold, promptly confirm if it is a cold, let it rest adequately, feed warm food, give medicine in time, and check regularly to handle the condition timely for recovery.
