A cat's nose is a kind of indicator of the pet's health. By its condition, you can understand that the kitty is sick, suffering from dehydration, or something else has happened.

But this does not mean that if your pet comes to you with a dry and hot nose, you need to immediately call an ambulance.

Experts have revealed what a cat's nose can tell about its health.

If the pet is healthy

In this situation, the nose will be wet and cool.

And even a dry nose is normal, since its condition depends on the humidity levels in the house.

The main thing is that there is no discharge from the nose.

The pet is sick

In this case, nasal discharge or other formations will appear.

Clear discharge may also be normal, but if there are no other symptoms such as sneezing, coughing or wheezing.

If the nose is dry and there is no discharge, then it may be a case of dehydration or elevated body temperature. It is important to remember that the cat could simply overheat near the radiator.

If a yellowish tint appears, this may be a sign of anemia.

You can't treat it yourself. It would be right to contact a veterinarian.
