So, guys, something weird’s been going on with my pup’s nose. Four days ago, no splotch in sight. Then, out of nowhere, yesterday I notice this dark brown mark that won’t rub off, like he’d been digging in the dirt or something. Today? It’s gone bright red. I’ve attached some pics for reference. this picture
(PS, yeah, I know, not the best pics, but it’s what I’ve got to work with here.)
I’m freaking out a bit because it just popped up so suddenly and changed colors. He doesn’t seem bothered by it at all, no pain or anything when I touch or rub it. And he hasn’t been up to anything out of the ordinary—same diet, same routine, just a lot of cold weather lately. Should I be rushing him to the vet or what do you guys think?
Given that the mark appeared suddenly and has changed colors, it may be worth contacting your veterinarian for their advice. They can provide a professional assessment and determine whether further examination or treatment is necessary.
In the meantime, continue to observe your pup for any changes in behavior or additional symptoms. If the mark persists or if you notice any concerning developments, erring on the side of caution and seeking veterinary attention is always a good idea to ensure your pup’s health and well-being.
A sudden, color-changing mark on your dog’s nose could be due to injury, irritation, allergic reaction, infection, or other conditions. Monitor it, document changes, and consult your vet to ensure proper care.
