    It's very hard to medicate cats. They have a specialized digestive system, which means things that are harmless, or even helpful, for most animals can kill a cat. So, if you are looking for medicine, please talk to a vet and see what they recommend.

    It could be nothing major.
    But its better to be safe then sorry.
    Ask a vet.
    I had over 9 kittens in my house over the last 4-5 months.
    And thankfully not one had any problem.

    You really should consult your vet. It could have a virus, but I'll tell you what I did with one of mine when I could not get her there until the next day, I just kept giving her short whiffs of Vicks vapo rub. It kept her passages open.
    But my cat was not as young as yours, and had it not been Sunday, I would have taken her to the vet right away.
    Get that kitten to the vet! Good luck.
