Why does my cat have bald patches, a dry white nose and look skinny despite a healthy appetite?
As to whether a cat’s nose is wet or dry – it really does not indicate anything about their health. A cat who is underweight and is eating the recommend amount of food daily, could have any one of several diseases, including diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or kidney failure, to name just three of the possibilities. No one here can diagnose your cat remotely. Even a vet reading your question could not determine the cause of the problem without examining your cat and it is highly unlikely that there are any vets here and anyone saying they are a vet is likely lying. Any “diagnosis” you get here will be no better than a guess. Your cat needs to be examined by a vet. A basic vet office visit exam should cost between $35 and $55 dollars. That is not much for the type of exam it will buy you. The vet should do a full exam of the cat, nose to tail, and look at any specific problems. You can tell the vet not do anything that will add to the bill without your prior approval. Do a Google search on :
