| Open sore on muzzle I was just washing my Mignon's face and she had something sticky on the left side of her nose just above the lip. Thought it might be some Nutracal I gave her last nite so wiped it and it was dried blood! There is a sore that is now "open" but not bleeding about the size of one of the "smiles" over to the right of this box. She is acting fine and didn't yelp at all if she hurt herself playing (she wasn't alone anytime yesterday or this morning). Called the vet and am taking her in this afternoon. Any ideas what she could have done??? Thanks!! |

| I'm not sure, but my first thought was some kind of bite from a bug. Good luck, and let us know what the vet says.

| Just keep a good eye on it and keep it clean with some neopsorin. It's honestly probably nothing. She could have scraped it playing.

| Thanks!! We took Mignon to the vet yesterday afternoon and he thinks it was some kind of bite (maybe an ant) that she scratched at until it started bleeding. She got a shot and some antibiotics to fight infection - and the left side of her nose shaved! She's doing fine, but acting a bit embarassed about the shaving - especially since tonight is her first PetSmart training session!! Thanks for the replies!! |
