Hi Wayne,

Not too sure that going out in the cold will give furkids colds and sneezes.
Ours go out in all weathers - even rain doesn't bother them - in fact Ketchum sits in the rain! They normally play and come in when their good and ready - if their wet I dry them - they like that!
About six months ago Ketchum had some weeks of sneezing but he was fine and the vet. was quite happy with him.
I really think their a lot like us - they have to be in contact with another animal with the disease and then they pick it up.
I honestly think you furkids are so normal and happy, perhaps the cold weather gives them 'sniffy' noses - my nose always runs when the weathers cold - charming eh?!
Maybe have a word with your vet 'cos he will know the area where you live and maybe mention giving them the anti-biotics(animal anti-biotics right?).
Sorry to have gone on a bit - but you seemed rather concerned.
