Wet Noses
Dr. Jeff Nichol, DVM, IAABC Veterinary Behaviorist
Wet nose, dry nose-no big deal.
Question:
Should my cat have a wet nose? In the mornings, his nose is wet. He did have an upper respiratory infection when I got him at the shelter.
Dr. Nichol:
Assuming the infection has resolved your cat can have a wet nose because of excessive tearing. Are you making your cat upset? Does he read romance novels in bed? Some of my best friends have wet noses and I’m not complaining.
