hello dear catfriends,
My older kitten (now 3,5months) has a nose with almost wounds-like crusts.
First it started with a skin irritation , see pic below on the mouth part. I called the vet and it could be a possible fungus infection. My mother came with her old-school method and bought organic sint johns worth oil, since it has skin curing abilities. Starting to smear it with the fingertip we immediately noticed him starting to lick/wash it. So we decided to put a lil bit on when he sleeps, it did woke him up a few times. A couple days after we noticed, his redness on the skin on his mouth was gone. However a way more concerning “skin issue” started to form.
At first sight we thought it was a wound forming a crust which might be caused by the licking / washing the oil of of his nose.
Now about 2 weeks after this is the progress:
Nor me or the vet have no clue what this exactly is. It used to be crusted on the whole tip of the nose as you can see in the pic below. However few days ago some parts seemed to be healed, see second pic, so less crustiness.
Today near the eye it looks like a small bump wich might be another crust on its way. As if he had / has wounds wich started to heal, since those crust would appear on humans after a wound. But than how did those wounds start? By scratching? Allergic reaction? Skin disease? Fungal? 0 clue….
If someone has ideas please please let me know.
thanks in advance,
additional info: he get about 1 month virbac kitten dry feed and for about 2 months almo nature chicken kitten, tuna-chicken-cheese, grilled chicken (all from almo nature)
