Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear about your Persian cat's situation. When it comes to nasal tumors in cats, they can sometimes be tricky to identify without thorough evaluation. These tumors can lead to symptoms like nasal discharge, sneezing, facial swelling, or even changes in breathing. Since Persian cats have shorter noses, they might show symptoms more prominently if something is affecting their nasal passages.
There are a few steps you can take at home to help make your kitty more comfortable. Ensure they have a clean, stress-free environment. Using a humidifier can also help ease any nasal congestion, making it a bit easier for your cat to breathe. Keep an eye on their appetite and hydration as well—sometimes nasal issues can deter them from eating or drinking properly.
However, it's crucial to watch for signs that may indicate a more serious problem, such as bleeding from the nose, difficulty breathing, visible pain, or sudden changes in behavior like lethargy.
Given your cat's age and the specifics of their symptoms, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets. They can offer more tailored advice and help you decide if more in-depth tests or treatments are necessary to ensure your feline friend is getting the best possible care.
