My cat has white powdery crust on her nose. Should I be worried?

Question

what's the white powder like stuff on luna's nose? Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Female | 6 months and 11 days old

Destini R. Holloway, DVM · Accepted Answer

It's probably dried up mucous discharge which is typically caused by a runny nose. Monitor Luna for continued nasal discharge after initially wiping this away with a warm moist cloth. If she continues to have discharge and other signs of an upper respiratory infection (sneezing, congestion,or runny eyes)then it is best to have her evaluated by your vet and treated with oral antibiotics.
