Black dirt in a kitten’s nostrils may just be dirt, or it may be caused by fungal infection or nasal congestion. First of all, the owner can first wipe the kitten's nose with a wet towel. If it can be wiped off, it means that it is just stained with dirt, and the owner does not need to worry too much now. Secondly, you can check the kitten’s skin. If symptoms such as hair loss, dandruff, ringworm, etc. are found, it may be a skin disease caused by fungal infection and requires antifungal drug treatment. Finally, if the kitten sneezes, has a runny nose, etc., then it may be rhinocele, and it is recommended that the owner take the kitten to the pet hospital for PCR for diagnosis. ​​​​​​
