I would suggest a scrape first to rule out mites. I dont know that you would need to knock her out to do a biopsy. A localized shot & a quick vet that knows what he is doing should do since it is on the surface. Get a second opinion.

He suggested that we take a biopsy of the spot I'm guessing to make sure its not cancer. The estimate in cost was nearly $500 to knock her out, take the biopsy and send the sample out to a lab for testing.
Has anyone ever experienced similar spots on their Yorkie's nose? What could be the cause of this mark?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
