PoppyDog Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Just after some advice regarding Poppy's nose... and if it needs any special attention. My vet has never mentioned anything but I've never asked specifically about her nose either... When we got her at 8 weeks it was still pink in most places but had some black... Here is a photo... Now it looks like this... Argh! Now I can't attach another photo... it keeps saying "Error No file was selected for upload" So now I'm stuck!!!

PoppyDog Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Okay got it! Now it looks like this... Do I need to be putting doggy sunscreen on it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 To me her nose seems fine, however, like any dogs with white/pink noses you'll need to keep an eye out. My Zeus has a black nose but has a white/pink and almost bald muzzle so I've got to keep an eye on that. As long as you're aware of the potential risks your pup should be fine. BTW she's very, very cute!! What's her name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby had NEVER had a pet before and he says all the time he didn't think he would love her as much as he does! She's just perfect for us! Fits in with what we're doing so well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 As long as the 'architecture' of the nose is 'normal' then it shouldn't be a problem. When you look at the nose closely it should look like a cobbled path all over it ie. the same on the white as it is on the black. I would not let a dog with a white nose have too much exposure to the sun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Her nose is classed as unpigmented. It looks like it has come a long way from her first pic, which is great as it shows that pigmentation has come through. I see she is now 2. I doubt that that it would ever get fully pigmented now but if she is not a show dog then it wont matter. You can get Filtabac and Filtaclear(horse shops or vets) which are sunscreens but she may lick if off the minute you put it on. I wouldnt be too worried about it. Unless of course she is exposed to the sun all day. Ideally the nose should be fully pigmented but there are some which arent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisys Mum Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 When i got my cavvy puppy she had pigmentation on her nose that looked like she had a nose ring but its dissapeared now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
