My kitten has puffy eyes and a runny nose. Could it be a respiratory infection?

[]

Answer

Puffy eyes and a runny nose in a kitten are classic signs of an upper respiratory infection (URI), often caused by Feline Herpesvirus or Calicivirus. Kittens are particularly vulnerable. URIs can quickly become serious if they affect breathing or lead to appetite loss. It's important to get your kitten examined by a vet for diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
