:cat9 Kittens dirty looking nose...

[Tanya]

Oli has got like a black discharge that doesnt actually run from his nose, it just dries up and looks like he has a scab on his nostril.

I wet a cotton bud with warm water & wipe it away daily. It doesnt seem to affect him & its been going on for a couple of weeks now.

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks in advance...

I have never come across anything like a black discharge coming from a cat's nose..... maybe a visit to the vet is called for?

[Emm]

this happened to one of my cats once it only lasted about a week though - maybe best for a wee trip to the vets just to make sure.

Mine had that too. Lasted about a week and then it just suddenly disappeared :?

[Tanya]

Hopefully it will disappear by itself then. Oli is going to the vets on Friday to be castrated, so another thing to add to the list...
* Catstration
* Ask vets for some toothpaste!
* Get Vet to check discharge from Olis nose.
