Hi!
My 12 year old male cat is generally very mucous-y. He suffers from allergies. For the last year and a half he had this black crust on his nose. Since it's development he's seen the vet a few times and two of those times were for physicals. The vet never mentioned his nose but I've decided to make an appointment to get a closer look at it. His nose does not ooze, it does not emit odors and when he sneezes the mucous expelled if any, is always clear. I've heard that cats with allergies will develop mucous buildup around their nose if not regularly wiped. Regardless, I am concerned and I am hoping someone else has experienced this before. He is an indoor cat and does spend some time looking out of the window in the sun. We are a tobacco and chemical free household. His diet is limited ingredient and his litter compromised of recycled newspaper. We have another cat who is the same age who does not suffer from allergies and her nose does not look this way.
Thanks for your help!
