The cat's dry nose may be ill. You can tell the health of a cat from its nose, do you know?

Wet nose: Under normal circumstances, a healthy cat's nose should be moist and cool, because it can keep the cat's keen sense of smell. Smell is very important for cats, and the inhaled air is humid, which will make cats feel the smell more easily.

Disease factors of dry nose: constipation, excessive internal heat, cold and fever, body heat and other common diseases will lead to dry nose of cats. If the owner finds that the cat's nose is dry, he should check whether the cat has other abnormal conditions and seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Environmental factors: a cat's nose is dry, sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that the cat is sick. If the cat is in a hot and dry environment, even if the cat ingests more water, it is difficult to keep its nose moist. At this time, the cat's nose is dry and has nothing to do with the disease.

When resting or sleeping: When a cat is resting or sleeping, its nose will be very dry. This is because the cat's body temperature is constant when sleeping, and its body is in a stable state, which leads to dry nose. After the cat wakes up, a little activity will make its nose moist again.

What to do if the nose is dry: If you find that the cat's nose is dry, you can first check whether the cat has symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea. If not, you can rule out the factors of illness. At this time, you can check whether the cat is in a hot and dry environment (such as a balcony in summer). If so, you can't keep the cat in a hot environment for a long time, otherwise it may lead to heatstroke.

Seek medical attention in time: if it is confirmed that it is caused by illness, it should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time. After treatment, when the cat recovers, the dry nose will naturally improve and become moist again.
