I took a male cat, about 9 months old, in for all his shots and
for neutering and microchipping. I also told the vet that he has
had "eye boogers" as well as nose boogers since I've had him. The
eye boogers are always big, dry, and dark, dark brown. The nose
boogers are inside his nostrils but clearly visible.
To me this isn't normal and is an indication of something going
on. However, the vet didn't report anything wrong.
Are there cats that normally have this problem? Is it a problem?
Could it be allergies? Should I take the cat back and ask the
vet about this specific issue?
Thanks in advance,

I have six cats, and I would say half of them I have to clean there eye
boogers out for them once or twice a day depending how much they are
thinking. One of them gets crusty nose boogers too and I help with that
also.

Both of my cats have chronic respiratory issues that we (the doctors
at the practice in which I am a vet tech and myself) suspect is due to
a Herpes virus infection along with mild asthma. I have been giving
them Viralys (a l-lysine supplement) since I adopted them and it has
helped with the runny eye issue that Sienna has; if I miss even one
dose a day with her, she gets runny eyes and/or eye boogers. Just a
thought for something for you to try.
