Sore Dry Nose

[ish]

Poor Chili has been suffering from a sore dry nose for a couple of weeks now. She has a cut which I thought may have been from the cat, but if so, it happened a good 2 weeks ago and should be healing by now so I suspect its actually from her nose being too dry. The other nostril looks like it might be on the way to being split too.

I've been rubbing Bepanthen into the top dry bit each night and trying to stop her from licking it (which she only does when the cream is on, she's not licking it excessively). Some days it looks fine, other days its very dry and sore.

The white area is the dryness, not the camera flash

What can I do to help her?

Pierce a Vitamin E capsule and rub the contents into her nose twice a day - it moisturises and speeds up healing.

I used to put vaseline onto the nose of my old girl when hers got very dry and sore. Put it on just before the dog eats or goes out for a walk /ball game etc so they aren't thinking about licking the funny stuff off!
