nicole Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have 2 adult Alaskan Malamutes which have come up with sores on their noses. I have only had them for about a month now so I am not sure if they have had this before, if they have been bitten by something or if it is an allergic reaction to something.... Can anyone help???

saintlysusan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Ouch! Are you sure its not fly bites that are bleeding or sunburn that has blistered? It looks like little blisters to me. Is the red in the top pic blood or somehting you put on there? If they dont heal within a few days I'd suggest taking them to the vet for a check up.

toughgirl78 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I agree with saintly susan. Take them to the vet asap. It looks nasty. Could it be from rubbing their nose against a wire fence? I've seen dogs get some nasty sores on their noses from doing that. XXToughgirlXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I suggest taking them to the vet tomorrow. That nose looks very painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I booked them in yesterday to see the vet.... I guess I was hoping someone might have some idea as to what they have. In the first pic it's blood, the owner of the place i live in said in might be mozzie bites... I guess i'll find out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You don't have a lot of patterson's curse/salvation Jane weed around where you live do you? I had a dog come down with something very similar looking from the little hairs on that weed many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggy_puggy Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ohhh that looks painfull. Is it only on their noses? Make sure the vet takes a swab and test for things like Strep & Staph as well as other fungul sorts of things. How long have their noses been like that? You may also try something like Physohex (the human acnea facewash) to gentley bath them with and then some sort of antibiotic cream could be put on. Let us know what the vet comes up with.
