Ever since I've gotten my kitten, she's been sneezing a lot and at first I thought it was maybe the sudden air change, but it's been almost two months and it still hasn't stopped. Today I was snuggling her and I noticed this on her nose:
I'm sure it's nothing too bad, but I can't help but freak out. What is this and how can I get rid of it since it seems to be causing her a lot of irritation?

I'm sorry, I am unable to see what you are seeing on the kitty's nose.  I hope another poster is able to help you.

I don't see anything from the picture either, however, if your kitty is constantly sneezing, then you should take her in to the Vet to be seen.  This is not normal.  She may simply be suffering from allergies, in which case they may be able to put her on some sort of allergy pills, or she may be suffering from something else, in which case they should be able to figure out what and get her to stop sneezing.  Even sneezing once a week is not really normal

I'm seeing a little dried exudate (crusty) at the edge of her nostril - either way, persistent sneezing warrants a vet visit to rule out viral infection, bacterial infection, foreign body inside the nasal cavity.  Please don't wait on this.

Also rule out in home - dust, cleaners, carpet powders, change your furnace filters and if you smoke, don't do it in the house.

Hello, I'm sorry for replying over a month late but I went to the vet and found out that the sneezing is due to an upper respiratory infection that she has! ): The vet gave me chews to give to her whenever her sneezing gets too bad and it's been helping.
