My cat has a crusty spot I removed. Is it a wart or something serious?

It looks like a little wart or less likely a skin cyst. These are quite harmless and go away on their own. If it grows, changes colors or starts to bother Wendyl, then you should take her to the vet to get it checked out. They can take it off easily and send it to the lab for positive identification if needed.

It appears like a wart, so I would not be too worried unless it's causing problems. The only way to know for sure is to take it off and send it to the lab for identification; but this likely not worth it. There are other methods for removing these if needed. Otherwise it's fine to leave it and watch for any issues. These can also go away on their own sometimes. I hope that helps and all goes well with Tuxedo.

If it has been weeping for 3 days than you should have your vet take a look at her. It may be infected and she might need an antibiotic to treat. Your vet may also be able to remove the wart so it doesn't happen again.

That type of behavior of coming and going is typical of a mast cell tumor though of course that is not the only possibility. Another possibility is a recurring infection. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

The mark on Cleo's nose looks like a bit of crusted fur. This could be due to a scab from scratching herself, or could be the start of a mild bacterial or fungal infection. As long as it doesn't seem to be bothering her, it's perfectly reasonable to keep an eye on it for a week or two before taking further action. If it gets better - problem solved! If it stays the same or gets worse, it would be best to have it checked out by a vet. During the exam, your vet may need to scrape a sample of skin cells to be examined under a microscope to get to the bottom of this issue. I hope that everything goes well!

That is very oddly discolored gunk for sure. I would certainly clip (if you're able) around the area to see if it looks infected or can be kept clean at home (clean washcloth, Elizabethan collar to prevent pawing at or licking it, keeping the area trimmed and dry). If Gremlin won't let you look at it or clean it properly, more discharge is coming from it, or it's very large/rapidly changing in size, a vet visit is a good idea. They can safely clip back any hair to make sure there aren't other pockets of infection, can clean the area, and may suggest taking samples if they suspect something more than a clogged pore or minor abscess.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know without being able to evaluate Puss and see it. This is most likely a benign or malignant nodule. This is most of the time differentiated with a test called a fine needle aspirate which is easy, cheap and pain-free. Sometimes, a biopsy is required for a diagnosis. Have Puss evaluated by your veterinarian to have this test performed to try to sort out what the diagnosis is so that the best course of action can be determined. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is something benign!
