My husband and I just adopted Juliet (and her sister Contessa) on November 18th. We took them to the vet on November 24th and the vet mentioned that Juliet's nose was a little red and cautioned us to keep her out of the window since her coloring and skin make skin cancer more likely. We kept her out of the window during the day until we could get UV blocking window film installed. Since then she hasn't been in the window much (the film makes it darker which I think makes it more boring for her).
Juliet has had these little marks on her nose along with some scabbing since we brought her home but today they seem much darker and more alarming.
This is from the day after the vet visit, the marks are hardly noticeable but she did have some black gunk that looked like scabs inside her nostril (I don't have a good picture of that):
This is from today:
Now keep in mind that the second photo was taken under a very bright light (I wanted a good picture of it) and the first was just normal lighting but this looks rather alarming to me in comparison.
Here's a regular photo taken today, not under bright light:
The vet did not say that she thought Juliet had skin cancer but looking at google images of skin cancer on cats, it looks very similar. Should I be concerned? Should I bring her back to the vet? I hate to stress her out again, it's been a very eventful few weeks for her. But I'm kind of freaking out. I lost my cat Flakes to cancer just over 2 months ago. I can't go through this again.
