persian nose problems

by Lottie
(GB)

I have an Exotic Persian who has really bad problems with her nose and ducts.

It is breaking my heart to watch her try and eat! so much so I hand feed her.

Her nostrils are so low to her face that when she tries to eat from a dish she snuffles and sneezes.

I have tried every dish going but it is still the same,in the end she gives up and wont eat so I hand feed her with dry food.

As for her eyes I have to wash them 2 or 3 times a day otherwise all the brown goo crusts on her eyes.

Please, you breeders stop this thing with the position of the nose it may be okay for you and your shows but not for the cat.

I have the same prob. What I do is get a warm flannel and clean the eye and nose area every day.

You will be surprised at the junk that comes away but it does help.

starstarstarstarstar 		Persian nose issue
by: CazB

Hi, I have two persian kittens both 9 months old now- they are brothers! One is an exotic persian and the other a persian. The exotic 'Spartacus' has a problem with his nose and this has been happening on and off over the past few months. He has been to the vets and taken antibiotics, but it always comes back. He is well in himself- playing, purring and jumping around with his brother 'Gizmo' but when he sleeps it sounds like he is having problems breathing and in the mornings his nose is bunged up- dark goo in colour, sometimes quite wet and other times dry and hard?? I try and clean this up as much as poss, but he still sounds bunged up. The vet did mention that this is a problem that persian's have. Has anybody got any idea's what i can do to help my little babe?! He is eating very well as usual. Gizmo gets the sneezy snuffles now and again but overall he is fine and has a clear nose. Help!!
