Now she is getting little bumps. The most noticable is in the middle (about 1 cm above her nose itself). Then there is a white spot on the top/side aligned with her left nostril. This spot may be flaking. Hoping that's just her skin color and she just lost a bit more fur to reveal that, but it doesn't look right.

IDK - again my Vet said it is probably because TJ rubs his nose in the blankets and pillows, etc...

Weren't you going to try something on it? Not working?

Really hoping it's not that though b/c I'm seeing the list of drugs available to treat it and it looks like it would be an extreme toxic overload to her liver.

I hope it is not too!

..no I haven't put anything on TJs nose. I really don't know what to do...

yeah as they use promeris or ivermectin for this. They can get demodex when the immune system is compromised. I really do not think it is this though but let us know.

if little white pimples that is staph infection they will pop pimple put on slide and do cytology that is how we knew dd had staph as she had a white pimple on her belly and it is the easiest way to diagnose staph to get the stuff inside the pimple so do not pop and take in while it is there

It's a rough patch, not a pimple.

I just don't know. Hopefully a scraping will show something.

Probably not.
I can zoom in, but then it's blurry......
Not a great camera.

Really not sure. The rough spot does seem to flake sometimes.
I guess we'll find out this week.

dang so sorry

hang in there seems like it is always something with these little ones with health issues huh

No demo.

Also fairly certain it is not yeast.

Still looking at a long named issue that I forget the name of (melanocyte alopecia?). Will have to biopsy if it gets worse. Probably can be done with propofol alone since it will only take a couple minutes. Still waiting...
