Fuzzy has a cold

Fuzzy was sneezing during the night, and in the morning her eyes and nose were running.

Seems that she has caught a cold, I think it is normal as we have had guests and all sorts of viruses are usually brought in the house on shoes and trousers.

It is, in my eyes, a part of normal process of building up kitten's immune system. Point is, that as kitten is growing up, it develops a strong immune system that can fight all kinds of viruses and bacteria, not to keep a kitten in a glass bubble, building a false feeling of security that is is healthy, as it has to crash on the first touch with outside world.

I take care that she eats well, she gets KMR kitten milk, as I know she likes it, and my mum brought her fresh fish, so she is really pampered.
She is a bit more calm and sleeps on her heating pad, but she gets up to check on us every now and then. I think it is her way to defend herself from the extra attention she is getting :D

I have decided to give her homeopathy, but as it takes some time for remedy to be made, and I did not want to wait until tomorrow, as I want to catch the cold in an early stage, I have called a friend in Italy and she is sending me remedy by bus.
We will pick it up and she will have it before evening. :)
