I have a kitten which has a cold. Is there any over the counter product I can give him?

Answer 1

a hot water bottle!! No i'm not laughin its true the best thing is the same as if a young child had a cold give him plenty of fluids and keep him cosy....if the weather is warm there though i'd advise cooling down with fans
if he's not better in 3 or 4 days ring a vet

Answer 2

Upper respiratory infections are viral and there is no medication for that. Vets sometimes give an antibiotic to preclude the possibility of a secondary bacterial infection.

NEVER, NEVER use any human medication on an animal

Sometimes an old cat is given small amounts of aspirin for arthritis and it must be monitored by a vet as it can be very toxic to their livers.

Answer 3

never give your cat any over the counter medication without first consulting your vet. Take your cat to the vet and get some antibiotics

Answer 4

Kittens need special care...... Over the counter things are not safe for animals, take your kitty to the VET.

(dont forget to spay or neuter!)

Answer 5

call the vet ....at no time should you give a cat human meds.
It could die. There is cat medicine for a cold but you should call the vet and find out good ways of taking care of it ...do you have a humidifier it can't hurt to try that.

Answer 6

Please take your kitten to the Vet...it may be more than a "cold".
He could have distemper, or another very bad disease. Where did you get your kitten? Call them to see if any other littler mate is sick.

Answer 7

the vet gives the same medicine to animals that humans take
if you have antibiotics at home give it half

Answer 8

since you didn't give any specifics, I would assume it is distemper, which is deadly. take it to the vet ASAP

Answer 9

no - only a vet can prescribe an antibiotic.

Answer 10

try rat poison
