What to use for Dry Noses? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

stedmansmommy · 01-04-2009, 11:34 AM

In the winter Tatum gets a little bit of a dry nose (it's just at the very top of her nose - not her whole nose) and anyway, it gets even worse if she scratches it. Can anyone recommend anything (some type of ointment) for me to put on there? Of course it needs to be something that won't harm her if she gets it in her mouth - cause I know good and well she is going to try and lick at it.

My Cocker Spaniel used to get a dry nose also, and my vet gave me something to put on her nose but I can't remember what in the world it was called

Also, I really wanted to put something on there today and of course my vet isn't open on Sunday's

We don't have a Petco here, only a Petsmart - so if there is something that Petsmart carries that I could run and pick up, that would be great

Thanks for any help you can offer guys!

Have you ever heard of that stuff "bag balm"? I wonder if that would help. Also, I saw something similar to it at Petsmart the other day - back by all the vits/first aid/supplements section. Maybe that?

Ya know girl, I think I have heard of that before. I am going to run over to Petsmart and see if I can find the stuff you're talking about that is similar

It doesn't really seem to be bothering her, but it bothers ME cause I know it's dry, lol.

Thanks a ton, GF!

My elderly pom has a very dry, scaly nose and I put vaseline on it and it helps

That's what my vet told me to use on my old Lady.
