I'm sorry to hear about your cat's condition. The presence of dry blood on her nose and bloodshot eyes could be indicative of several issues. One possibility is a respiratory infection, which can cause nasal discharge and irritation, leading to dry blood. Bloodshot eyes might also suggest an infection, inflammation, or even trauma.

To address the dry blood on her nose, you can gently clean it using a damp cloth soaked in warm water. Additionally, maintaining a humid environment can be beneficial, as dry air can worsen respiratory symptoms. Using a humidifier in the room where she spends most of her time can help alleviate these symptoms.

For her bloodshot eyes, it's crucial to keep them clean. You can gently wipe away any discharge with a warm, damp cloth. However, avoid using any human medications or eye drops unless they are specifically prescribed by a veterinarian.

Given that these symptoms have persisted for a few weeks, I strongly recommend taking her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. A thorough examination by a professional will help determine the underlying cause and the appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or other medications.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
