I would consider changing your type of bedding. Aspen, cypress mulch, or old newspaper is far better. A little dust in his nares is not going to hurt but continued use my cause U/R problems. You can soak him in the tub (room temperature) let him swim around. I would change the bedding….To much clay dust and other foul stuff in Kitty litter.
Good luck…

Yeah, your best bet is to change to a different bedding. If you want something that clups try crushed corn cob bedding. I used a screen to sift out the dust from the corn cob and never had a problem with it.
