The nose is an indicator of the cat’s well-being.
In this article, we will tell you how to understand that a cat is healthy by the nose.
How to check your cat's health by looking at its nose
Also, when examining your cat's nose, you should pay attention to the presence of discharge.
If they exist, they should be transparent.
If the discharge is foamy, thick, yellow, green or even black, you will undoubtedly need to take your animal to a veterinarian for examination.
A healthy cat’s nose is wet and cold, but if you notice that the cat is depressed, eats and drinks little and has a dry and hot nose, then this is a sign of some disease.
Contact your veterinarian immediately.
The moisture in your cat's nose helps her detect odors and determine where they are coming from.
This works similarly with dogs. Fragrance particles adhere more easily to wet surfaces than to dry ones, giving wet noses a distinct advantage.
A hot nose coupled with a weakened appetite, decreased activity and other symptoms should cause concern.
A very cold nose with copious discharge may also indicate that the cat is unwell.
How to determine if a cat has a temperature without a thermometer
There are clear signs of high fever in humans, and these same symptoms are seen in cats.
For example, lack of appetite, weakness or lethargy, shaking, dehydration, or ears that feel warm to the touch.
