My kitten has a URI. Can I use olive or coconut oil on her nose?

Question

Hi I was wondering if I can use Olive or coconut oil for my kittens nose irritation from her upper respiratory infection. Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 months and 17 days old | 10 lbs

You can use either oil but most likely they will not help much. You can use a product called BioBalm, which I find to work great for areas like the nose. Once the infection is resolved, this should go away on its own. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
