she has scabs on her legs and ears and they appear dry. she also has a cough and is sneezing


It sounds like your young kitten is experiencing some concerning symptoms, including scabs on her legs and ears, as well as coughing and sneezing. These scabs could be caused by a variety of factors, such as allergies, skin infections, or reactions to flea bites. Meanwhile, the coughing and sneezing might indicate an upper respiratory infection, which is quite common in young cats.
To address the scabs, you can gently clean the affected areas with a damp cloth to remove any debris. It's also important to ensure her environment is clean and free from potential allergens. If you suspect fleas, continue with the topical treatments as prescribed, but keep an eye out for any adverse reactions.
For her coughing and sneezing, try to keep her in a warm, stress-free environment. Using a humidifier can help ease her breathing if the air is dry. Additionally, make sure she is eating and drinking well, as staying hydrated is crucial.
Given that these symptoms have persisted for a few days, it's important to monitor her closely. If the symptoms continue or worsen, or if she becomes lethargic or loses her appetite, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
