Abel Has A Boo Boo On His Nose

[grey8greys]

Abel has a sore nose, looks like he was rubbing it against the carpet. He was fine in the morning but this is what it looked like when I got home from work. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do to help the healing process? It has been like this for a couple of days, it starts to look like it is healing and than it will bleed a little.

I use vitamin E cream on Mickey's nose. Those things last a long time. Mickey has had two spots on his nose for weeks.

Shane took all the black off the top of his nose one day in his run at the vet's. He had had big-D in there -- twice -- and was trying frantically to cover it up with the bedding, bless his heart. The vet said to just dab some antibiotic ointment on it once or twice a day and that it would grow back. And it did! It did take a few weeks, though. Scritchies to sweet Abel!

Ouchie! Poor Abel!!

Heal up quickly, sweet boy.

Is there something he could be trying to pry open? My first girl did that trying to pry the front door open when I went to work and left her at home alone.

 

I put up an ex-pen to block her access to the front door. She could see the door--just couldn't reach it to hurt herself on it.

 

Good luck...and kisses to Abel.

I would be careful what type of ointment/cream you use on the nose. It will probably be ingested. I know mine would lick it off before I even finished applying it.

my boy used to get them frequently when he first came,, as he was trying to bury treats, in the carpet They take awhile to heal,, I used an antibiotic ointment,,, ingesting it was not a concern,, preventing an infection was

No advice for you. Just hoping Abel is all better soon.

Chase does this all the time because he scoots his food dish and buries it under his blankets when he isn't hungry. I leave it alone because of where it is and it heals. He keeps it clean himself. He has one now, as a matter of fact

Thanks for all your suggestions and well wishes on Abel's nose. I have been putting Neosporin on it and it seems to be looking a little better. I guess it will just take a little time to heal

If it isn't noticeably better in the first 24 hours, perhaps change over to polysporin. Lots of people--and possibly dogs--are allergic to the neomycin portion of neosporin.

Thanks for the suggestion of polysporin, Abel's nose looks much better. I will keep the polysporin in mind if there is a next time

Poor pup! Here's to hoping he leaves it alone!!

[Guest FullMetalFrank]

Oh, his poor nose looks so sore! I hope it's well on its way to being healed by now.

Sammie has the sam spot, on and off, recently--I couldn't figure it out until I realized he was scraping his nose when burying one of his special treats.
