The Common Cold in Cats

veterinary clinic Cherry Hill NJ

Did you know that your cat can catch your cold? Unlike dogs, cats have a respiratory tract that is similar to a human’s. Because of this, cats are prone to respiratory infections through the airways which can develop into a cold. Coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes or possible sore throat can occur. If you have a cold don’t cuddle with your cat. Make sure you wash your hands frequently and if you do cuddle with your cat try and stay out of her face. Wash your clothes, bedding, and blankets frequently to help your cat to avoid picking up the cold as well. If your cat does get sick, call your veterinary clinic Cherry Hill, NJ to schedule an appointment. Let them know you think she has a cold and tell them if you or someone in your family has been sick as well.Add paragraph text here.
