What Is The Dry Black Stuff Coming From My Cat's Nose Eyes?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Without examining your cat it is impossible to determine the exact discharge.  Dark discharge can be dried blood.  There are several things that cause upper respiratory disease in cats.  Infectious disease--viral, bacterial, fungal, neoplasia (cancer), or nasal foreign body.  Ocular discharge can be secondary to conjunctivitis or can be normal.  It would be best to have your cat examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause of these problems and start appropriate treatment.

    Thank you for comment. I recently have taken in, I believe a homeless cat, and have been nuturing it the last couple of days. I have noticed this black dry stuff around her eyes and nose. I also noticed that cuticles are black where the claw meets the skin. If there are not changes in the next few days then I will take her to my vet. I currently do not have any other cats around the house so she should be safe. Again, thanks. G.

      Is your cat a persian??

      if your cat is a persian maybe you will need to clean her eyes every second day because my friend has a persian cat and her eyes go black and around her nose!!

      P.S. A persian cat is a cat that is really fluffy but i am sure your mum will tell you if he/she is a persian or not..
