Why does my kitten sneeze and have dried crust around her nose?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My kitten sometimes sneezes and I’m having to clean her nose every day because she gets dried build up around her nose. Should I be concerned?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. This may be due to an upper respiratory infection. I would have your veterinarian take a look at her as she may need a course of an antibiotic to treat this. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
