Ads 39 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've noticed for a few days now that his nose seems to be going pink. At first I thought it might just be a scratch but it's getting even more pink around the sides and on top. A quick google search says it can happen in winter, which would explain it. Some sites say go to the vets. I've never known this before and just wondered if any of you lads had experienced this and would you take him to the vets. There's been no other change whatsoever to indicate he's ill. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post
Johnlurcher 35 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 What age is the dog? Did you give it bones lately or anything!? The reason I ask is my dog tried hiding a bone and each day it would rub it's nose off the ground and wear it down to the pink below plus seen old dogs get it! Quote Link to post
Ads 39 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 He's just coming up to thirteen months now. Funny you should say that actually because last week I left some rabbits that I'd chopped up on the side overnight (stupid, I know!). In the morning, half of it had been eaten and there were legs hidden all round the house!!! I've not noticed him rubbing it on the floor though Quote Link to post

Kemperz21 65 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Might just be a sore mine had the same from sunburn after a couple weeks the pink disappeared Quote Link to post
Ads 39 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 That's what I initially thought but I've actually watched it develop. I'm not too worried though because he is still his usual self! Quote Link to post
nomoon 542 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 heard of a thing called winternose where the nose goes lighter in the winter,never seen it mind you ,atb mc Quote Link to post
darkjack86 33 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 yeah it's prob 'snow nose', it's just pigment changes, nothing to worry about. l know what guys mean re dogs burying bones, but l'd guess pigment changes from what you've described either way is harmless to dog anyway Quote Link to post

Right at the base on the snout Edited March 2, 2015 by MoChara Quote Link to post
