Abrasion on dog's nose. [View all]
We just picked Noelle up from the kennel where we board her and she has an abrasion on the top of her nose. She always rubs her nose along the bottom of her enclosure, the rug, the grass, dirt, etc. They even moved her to a large plastic crate to sleep, but I think she kept it raw by licking it. It looks raw and bloody, but it's not bleeding. They said they had been washing it daily with warm water and a dog wash for sensitive skin. She let us wash it off and pat it dry. She keeps getting her tongue up there. I was wondering if there was anything we could put on it to help it heal. If it was a person, I'd put Neosporin on it, but I'm not sure that's OK if she's going to be licking it. It's right above where the sensitive part of her nose ends and the skin on her snout begins.
Maybe we should just leave it alone, but it looks like it wouldn't take much to make it bleed.
