Kitten with cold?

Question
Hi, I have a four week old kitten who was taken away from his mom to early (not my choice) but I took him in. He has worms and have him on medication for that. For four days (since I got him) he's been sneezing and has crusties around his eyes and nose. The crusties around his eyes are brownish in color. Other then that he's been eating and drinking very well and using the litter box. He's very hyper and happy and very very affectionate. Does he have a cold and what could or should I do? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Nicole - Let's give this kitten some good vitamins and a little Benadryl.. He may have 1mg of benadryl per pound-
5 pound cat = 5 mg of benadryl
10 pound cat = 10 mg of benadryl

Also, please call and order some NuVET Feline Formula / this is a powder vitamin you will mix into the food 1 x per day.
Excellent for her to heal the allergies and sinus troubles.
NuVET will help her  build up the Immune System.  
Many cat breeders send the new kitten parents home with a bottle of the NuVET plus.

Please call in and order some NuVET Feline - make sure you call in so you can get the PHONE In Special - use order code 81098 and ask for the Special Money Back guaranteed trial...

Ok, don't over do the Benadryl - This is only to be used 1-2 x per day for a few days...OK.
The NuVET is something she should take for a lifetime...


Thanks and BEST of luck
