My 2-month-old male kitten is sneezing wetly and throwing up yellow mucus.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 months and 7 days old | 2.7 lbs

Hi. I have two kittens that are two and half month old. The male one sneezes several times a day, and it's a wet sneeze. He has also thrown up a yellowish mucus twice now. I was at a VCA two days ago and they said they are very healthy kitties. They both eat and drink and are very active with no sign of hiding or exhaustion.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach. It may have been that the kittens were perfectly healthy the other day and now it sounds like the male is having symptoms of a upper respiratory viral infection with the sneezing. These viruses usually are self limiting and do not cause major illness. However, if he is not eating, continues to vomit, and/or is acting lethargic please have him rechecked as soon as you can.
