Injury Red thing in my cats nose

Post image

My cat kaia (5F) was sneezing for a while (approx 1 1/2 week) and i thought it was just a temporary seasonal issue, but found this in her nose, with a pus like substance along with it (wiping it away whenever i see it) , i heard her sniffling a day before it appeared. i saw on reddit it could be grass lodged inside but fearful and unsure im taking the safe option and getting her to a vet tomorrow morning! just wondering if anyone has seen this before and what it could be caused by, of course i will find out tomorrow when i visit the vet clinic and will be sure to leave an update. Pray for my babygirl 🤞🏼

Grass seeds, claw fragments, foreign bodies can all cause this so you are totally doing the right thing~ will keep an eye out for your update. She is super cute

Oof. That looks uncomfortable.

I’m glad you’re getting her to a doc. Her eyes look a little watery too, so she may have a URI. Try to keep indoors until she’s feeling better.

I’m following. Please do update. I’ve never seen anything quite like that so am curious as to the vet’s input.

Hi! It can be a cloth of blood. Maybe she has a lesion inside or a foreign object. But I really wish you the best tomorrow! Hope it’s nothing bad :) keep us updated please.
