My 4 month old kitty has a very dry nose. It appears to be cracked down the middle, it doesnt bleed, but it's not good. Is there something I could give her that isnt medication? Something around the house or something? She's just pitiful..

Sounds like she needs to drink more fluids. You can try a mild balm for her nose, but she'll probably lick it off.

Hi there...if your cat always has a dry cracked nose this could be due to allergies to foods, genetics, etc. A veterinarian should evaluate this to rule out any medical complications as it could be a warning for other hidden feline illnesses. In the meantime to safely moisten the nose you can use a Vitamin E capsules to soften the nose and it will not harm the cat to lick this--your vet will be able to confirm this, but please NOTE this doesn't cure anything if there is truly a hidden medical illness which the dry nose symptom can be outlying telltale sign.

First of all a cats nose should be dry. A wet nose in a cat is not a sign of being healthy like it is in a dog. Second, a cats nose has a line down the centre which makes the nose appear to be divided. Are you sure this isn't what you are mistaking for a "crack". Go online and take a look at close up pictures of cats noses and you will see what I mean.

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing! Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

A vet could provide an ointment safe for kittens. Otherwise, some type of bacitracin or neosporin should not hurt, just only put a little bit on, because whatever doesnt' soak in will be licked off.

first of all try giving your cat more fluids. If the dry kitty nose still presists see your vet for an ointment that will cure it once and for all.

Really, a vet should see it. It is not a common thing.
