Cockerlover Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a friend with a 3 year old Cocker Spanial who has a constant dry skin on his nose. We have tried vasaline, neo, aleo vera to no avail, any suggestions welcome! Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well I was going to say Vasleline....however maybe try Paw Paw cream? It is doing brilliant things on our dogs flybite wounds in a matter of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a friend with a 3 year old Cocker Spanial who has a constant dry skin on his nose. We have tried vasaline, neo, aleo verato no avail, any suggestions welcome! Thank You. Is the skin cracking? If not, I'd leave it alone. A dry nose is perfectly normal for a lot of dogs, especially in warmer dry weather. Nothing you put on is going to stay there anyway - the dog will lick it off.

becks Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 i was going to say vaseline just before you feed the dog so they aren't thinking about what you have just put on their nose and don't lick it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 After ensuring there is nothing amiss, via the vet, I would be inclined to try to remedy it from within - more oil in the diet, sardines, sunflower, omega 3 oils, and perhaps a change of diet.

Janba Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I asked my vet about a graze on my dogs nose and he said to use QV? ointment (for nappy rash) and that he also recommends it for dry cracked noses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springergirl Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I give Cassie a Vitamin E tablet for her really dry nose which has helped immensely and have tried paw paw cream (but she just licks it off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
