Black Stuff On Cats Nose?

[cohenjdye]

the last few days my kitten has had this black stuff gathering around his nose, neither our other kitten nor our big cat have it and i was hoping for some guidance. It doesn’t come off when i try to gently wipe it off and it looks kind of gross... hope someone can help! (sorry for the bad photos lol)

Hi! Do you have a vet you could send the pictures in to?

Have you tried soap and water on a wash cloth? Careful not to get soap up their noses. It could be an infection of some kind: fungal, bacterial, mites. I googled dark stuff on kitten's nose and one of the things that came up was nasal dermatoses. You should call your vet tomorrow.

Tried a wash cloth a few minutes back and it wasn’t successful unfortunately. It’s looking like we’ll have to take him to the vet. Thank you for your help!
