Nose wrinkle issues

Posted by admin on June 8, 2014 Comments Off on Nose wrinkle issues

They both had a nose problem recently, Aramis had a bacteria growing under his fold , it was wet and smelly.

D’Artagnan had some redness and hair gone due to over licking his nose.

I researched a lot and found this great product on a bulldog forum.

Dog with a nose wrinkle  are prone to bacteria.

I bought Douxo Chlorhexidine 3% PS Pads. It is very easy to use. One pad is way too big to use for only 1 dog , so I cut
it in 4th parts.

I noticed a small crack on his right paw. I just shaved the extra coat between toes. I will apply a moisturizer for a few days . This should help and cure.

I was brushing Aramis when I found some yellow leaf looking thing. i thought it was some kind of tree leaf as he always get some in his coat when going outside.

I removed it, it was somewhat hard and it bled a little.He didn’t cry or anything. I did some research and it appears to be a nail. Sometimes it grows on tail. It is a  benign, rare tumors that arise from hair follicles. I check daily to see if everything is fine. He is eating and drinking normally. I didn’t notice any change on him
