https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/24078/sneezing-7-day-old-kittens Well you&#39;d expect a couple of week old kittens sneezing to have flu but I&#39;ve never seen it in kittens so young and the mother is asymptomatic. There is no occular-nasal discharge (I forced the eyes open as they hadn&#39;t opened yet), they are very wellen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/155783?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 31 Mar 2016 09:38:51 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:357c4bbc-1fc6-459d-ad10-3251eb201c5dMartin Atkinson<p>[quote user=&quot;mariette asselbergs&quot;]most cats have latent herpes virus and will shed when under stress (pregnancy, giving birth, lactating).

Transmission is through close contasct (not aerosol). &nbsp;Very young kittens will show signs, then develop latent infection. If they got a good amount of colostral antibodies, they may not be otherwise very much affected. &nbsp;And I can imagine that having an irritated URT will show more sneezing when there is a sudden cold/fresh breeze?</p> <p>Mariette</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
