Thread Starter 
does anyone know what causes a a discharge from the nose and eyes that becomes black and crusty? The vet doen't have a cure, and the pet shop guy sells stuff to clean it, but not to stop it in the first place. On antibiotics for a different reason it improved, and a flea collar made it a lot worse. She's had this since she was a kitten, she had cat flu when I got her and the vet suggested this damaged her eye ducts which causes the discharge. Anyone got any ideas?

Both of my cats get this, if its the same thing you are talking about. My vet says its normal, and to just wipe it with a warm wash cloth when it becomes visible. Maybe you're kitties have the same thing. There are others here that are much more knowledgeable, and I am sure will post to you also.

Most cats who develope any sort of infection as a kitten become carriers and when stressed, they shed and sometimes develope symptoms. The discharge will come and go, just make sure there aren't any other signs that will need antibiotics.
