Sneezing is a physiological phenomenon that occurs when the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity is irritated. The main causes of nasal mucosa irritation in kittens are as follows: Firstly, herpes virus infection. The herpes virus, which is commonly known as cat nasal branch, will mainly attack the kitten’s upper respiratory tract. In addition to sneezing, it may also cause increased eye discharge, runny nose, mucous membrane congestion and oedema, so once the pooper scooper finds that the kitten has the above symptoms, please send the cat to a professional animal hospital for treatment in time. Secondly, rhinitis caused by environmental allergies. Some substances in the environment, such as pollen, dust and dander, may cause allergic rhinitis in kittens, resulting in incessant sneezing. The main solution to this type of problem is to ensure that the breeding environment is hygienic, clean and regularly cleaned, and if serious allergies are produced, desensitisation injections should be given. Thirdly, respiratory infections. As with our human cold symptoms, in addition to most being caused by viruses, some are caused by bacteria, mycoplasma or chlamydia. Once a kitten is sneezing due to one of these causes other than a virus, it is a very serious emergency and will probably need to be examined at an animal hospital or treated with antibiotics, and must not be delayed or it will cause unnecessary consequences.
