Black Secretion in Cat's Nose

Black secretion in a cat's nose may be due to simple nasal dirt, nasal bleeding, or feline upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended that owners pay attention to observe. If the cat has no other abnormalities and only a small amount of secretion, it may be the result of dried secretions in the nasal cavity, and there is no need to worry too much. However, if the secretion is abundant and the cat shows symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose, it may be caused by feline upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

1. Nasal dirt

If the cat's spirit, appetite, and bowel movements are normal, and the black secretion is only a little bit, it may be nasal dirt. In this case, the owner doesn't need to worry too much, and can clean the nasal dirt with a cotton swab.

1. Nasal bleeding

If a cat's nasal cavity bleeds, the blood will coagulate outside and look like black secretion. Because there are many causes of nasal bleeding, such as damaged nasal cavity blood vessels, coagulation disorders, etc., if the black secretion at the cat's nose is abundant or looks like blood, it is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.

1. Feline Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

If a cat suffers from feline upper respiratory tract infection, it will produce a large amount of secretions and may also accompany symptoms such as sneezing and coughing. If the cat shows the above symptoms, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a pet hospital for professional treatment in a timely manner to avoid the condition from worsening.
