Cat Dry Nose And Sneezing. Dry air is common in winter months. Is your cat sneezing so frequently that you feel like handing him a box of kleenex?
This could be a polyp or tumor. Where we can actually see dry noses as a side effect of too dry air (if the heaters are on), poor air circulation or in cats who like to lay in front of a radiator or fire; If the interior of your cat’s nose is flaky, it suggests a potential illness.
Discharge may be from one side of the nose (unilateral) or from both sides (bilateral).
If sneezing is the only symptom your cat displays—i.e., no discharge from eyes or nose, good appetite, no change in behavior or activity level—then an allergy or contact. Your veterinarian will ask you a series of questions about your cat's symptoms to determine if asthma is at play. Despite popular belief, the lack of a cold, wet nose is not the identifying mark of an ill kitten. Reverse sneezing is often characterized by a backwards head motion, with a closed mouth and the lips sucking inward.
