Hi I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
So, I picked my cat up which i bought from a woman on preloved on Sunday.
She has a swollen (i would say) bulbous nose. I asked the woman about it and she said that when the cat was around 1-2 years (she's 6 now) old it appeared on day and she took her to the vets but her vet apparently said that she could have done it running around and she didn't seem to be showing any signs of discomfort or infection. No blood or discharge so the vet advised her too leave it and its been that way for 4 years now.
I want to believe this is true but it very odd and I have never seen anything like it before. (I'll attach some pictures). She seems a happy enough a cat. Quite quiet for a Bengal but she has let off a few loud meows. She only been with me for 3 days so she's still settling in and becoming more confident every day. She's friendly and well behaved. Runs for food every morning and evening. You can touch her nose and it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain but i just wanted to see if anyone had seen anything like it before or had any idea what it could be.
I took her to the vets yesterday but they weren't really able to offer any explanation with out doing an x-ray. They told me to leave it for a couple of weeks and see how she gets on and then make a decision from there. Probably have to get X-Rays to see if they can find out if its anything harmful. I am just concerned that there could be something seriously wrong with her.
The cat is a Snow Bengal, she has given me all the documentation for her, health testing and microchip information. She is an ex breeding queen. Not that it matters but just to show that I did't just pick a random cat up without getting the important stuff.
Thanks
