My vet thinks he was bitten by a wasp a week ago. There is a small crater like spot under his chin. He developed nasal discharge and a red rash on one spot on his face shortly after. The vet gave him a short acting cortisone and antibiotic shot. The discharge and reverse sneezing seems much improved but now he has developed this brown spot on his nose. My vet is closed- should I take him to an emergency clinic? He is eating/drinking and doesnt seem distressed. His left eye is draining in the picture because he has no tear duct on that side so this is normal for him.

He has a small cut or something of that nature that looks like it was bleeding but has stopped now I have no idea where it came from or how he got it

Hello, my three cats had a virus, a vet got some antibiotics for them, everything was starting to get fine until they started to have rash patches on their necks and raw/inflamed noses, also one of my darlings had a nosebleed before. The vet said it was possibly because of the allergic reaction from antibiotics or their bodies are getting tired from all the three-week long course of injections and pills. I'm worried that the antibiotics will weaken their livers also i'm worried that if there is any cure for it. They feel weak and had a cold/virus that's been going on locally (one of my cats had a stroke before it all began for all of them, considering the problem was the recent heatwave that they've badly suffered.) Hope to hear from you soon, Annette.

My 4 month old kitten has had a small black, what looks like a scab on the edge of her nostril for about a week, at first I did remove it via water and then a damp cloth and I personally couldn’t see any bleed or wound but the next day this black ‘thing’ is back. There doesn’t seem to be any redness or swelling so I’m rather confused. Should I visit the vets or leave it to see whether it simply is a scab and leave it too heal?

I have a female orange tabby and i have noticed she has what i thought was freckles on her nose, gums,and eyes ( well around it). I looked online and saw it could be lentigo, i was relieved but after a couple of days it all disappeared. A month went by and they appeared again same quantities as before. Then after a week disappeared a couple months later appeared again. She doesn't seem in distress but im not sure if i should be worried

My cat teddy got stung by a scorpion on the nose. Other than a bit of rubbing his nose he was fine after the sting. A few days after the sting he started getting about ten black bumps on his nose that would then bleed after a few days. I started cleaning the bumps with hydrogen peroxide for about a week but that didn’t do much. I then started treating them with bag balm which seemed to make them go away. However, maybe 3 days after they would disappear they would reappear again with another set of 10-12 black bumps on his nose that would bleed again. There was never any pus and they didn’t seem to bother Teddy but I don’t want them to get infected since he’s an indoor/outdoor cat. I took him to the vet and they gave him a shot on antibiotics so his open sores wouldn’t get infected. And after the shot they seemed to clear up again but now a week later they’re back. I have no idea what these cyclical black bumps could be or how to treat them. I don’t know if he was allergic to the scorpion sting but I feel like if that were the case they wouldn’t keep coming back. It might be seasonal allergies except he has no other symptoms. I’m stumped. Any input is welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

I have a kitten, about 5 to 6 weeks of age. He was rescued from a neighbor from very squalid conditions under a trailer house, where he was living with a lot of other cats. He has some brown, scabby stuff on the top of his nose that doesn't come off when washed, and it hurts him if I try to pick it off. He came to me this way. I realize that a visit to my veterinarian is ideal, however, right now, that is just not possible. I am strapped until September. Would it be okay to put some bacitracin on it, just to keep it clean? Not a gooey amount, but a very thin layer. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi! I noticed yesterday that my cat has what looks like a cut right at the bottom of her nose. I’m not exactly sure when it appeared because she has been hiding in dark corners of the house for a couple of days now. Yesterday she kept rubbing at it, which made it more red. She’s strictly indoors, has never been outside and I’m not sure if I should be concerned? I do have her brother and a 10 week old kitten inside also so I’m not sure if this is something one of them possibly did to her (although she is usually the alpha of the house and neither of them mess with her) or something I need to take her to the vet over? I’m mainly concerned because she has ALWAYS been very active and playful with things like the laser and she will not play now. She’s also usually talkative and hasn’t meowed in a couple of days. She is barely eating and drinking, only went to the litter box one time yesterday, and seems to not have the strength to jump on the couch or bed? These are all symptoms that have suddenly appeared with the place on her nose, so I’m assuming they are all related.

My 8 month old cat has a puffy nose (bridge, between the eyes), and her nose is runny too. She sounds congested and sneezes a bit too. She is eating well, and drinking water too. I took her to the vet, and they checked her for Leukemia and feline aids, of which both are negative. However, the vet said she was anemic, so they checked for fleas, which also were negative. They gave me Clindamycin, but she seems the same after 3 days of medicine. Should I take her back for more tests ? I'm also worried because I have other cats, and she seems "depressed" because I have kept her in a large kennel, to "isolate" her in case it could be contagious.
