Kia's severely chapped nose

Thanks guys. We're scheduled for 10:15.

If the vet can't find any health issue. you can buy Bag Balm and rub that on it 3 times per day.

He may find no underlying issue, but an infection may have set in. Antibiotic cream / pills.

Hope it is nothing more serious. Let us know!

Hey all! She'll live.

Her nose does have inflammation (both nostrils) and oddly enough there is a little yellow discharge in the right nostril, but the vet doesn't think it's anything serious. In her opinion it's just 'old age'.

I have some drops to put in her nose 3x a day to combat the inflammation and keep infection out. Then I have to smear chapstick on as needed.

Should clear up in a week or so.

That's good. If you don't want to use chapstick, I second the bag balm. Real good stuff.

That's great news! Come on Kia, let's get that pretty nose all healed up!

I was also thinking that the change in seasons and the start of furnaces (dryer air) can contribute to dryer noses and chapped lips - just like in humans.

Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Hugs and kisses to your sweet girl

Hey Kia, don't you believe that "old age" thing sweetie. Hope the
drops & chapstick heals you up soon. Never used the bag balm, but
it sounds good.

GREAT NEWS!!! Take care, dear Kia!
