My cat has something weird going on with his nose I was

Hello I am Dr. Joey. Thanks for asking your question and trusting me to help you and your pet today. I am a licensed veterinarian with over 20 years of experience.

I'm sure you are so worried about this!!

As a note, Just Answer will automatically offer you a phone call - that is not from me and is not always helpful - nor I am not always able to take a phone call - so please don't accept without checking in via text first.

To start, can you send a picture of his nose?

I am going to go offline so I am going to opt out and hope that you can upload a picture and another vet can jump on with some advice for you.

Hi there, could you see my reply?

It looks like you may be offline. Without further information or a photo it is difficult for me to provide the best advice but I will certainly try. Please reply when you can and we can continue the conversation.

Inflammation in this area could have several causes including:

• A rodent ulcer or eosinophilic plaque (allergic reaction)
• A trauma due to e.g. a scratch or bite
• A swelling due to an insect bite
• A foreign body under the skin 
• Etc.

If signs have not resolved, a vet visit is important, so we can determine what is going on.

Edward's treatment will depend on what is found and may include e.g. antibiotics and anti inflammatories.

At home, use a buster collar to stop rubbing if needed.

I'd also bathe the area with salt water twice daily.

Any further questions are welcomed.
