Well my cat as black crusty stuff in his nose again, and I feel like I'm at my wits end. I did some looking up online and I found a few different images that looked like what he has but no one from the photos ever posted what it was. I also seemed to have some a crossed that, it seems to happen with cats that have orange. Which Tom, is a white and orange cat. I have been giving him lysine for years, but I don't really feel like it makes much of a difference. Since we moved into this new place, about 2 years ago, the black in his nose comes more and more often. Each time we rush off to the vet and they give antibiotics, sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't. I'm feel so warn out. In the last couple of rounds we tried giving him anti-inflammatory, which seemed to help and now this time we have been trying an allergy pill. The allergy pill also seems to help somewhat, instead of the crust being in both sides of his nose its only in one. Every couple of days I clean it off with a wet rag, which he hates and it comes back a couple of days later.
The vet said for $300 they will put him unconscious and take a sample from up his nose to have it tested, and take an xray of his head just to make sure nothing is there that shouldn't be. However they warn of the risk of him not waking back up, given his weight and age. Has anyone else ever had this problem if so what as it, how did you treat it? I'm so scarred for testing but I'm just about at wits end.
