Title: Strange looking nose
Post by: woodlandcats on March 05, 2009, 16:22:37 PM

Basically the reason why I registered.

I have never seen this, anyone has an idea what this could be?

Fairy is 2.5 and lives outside most of the time, I think it might be a fungus, tomorrow my youngest is going to the vet's for neutering and I will take Fairy for a quick look.
But in the meantime, maybe someone has an opinion.

hi and welcome

can't see much in the photo - my lot quite often have some thinning fur on their noses - I just assume they are scraping them/getting bopped on the nose.

Is it slowly growing? It could be a yeasty infection or ringworm so a vet check is definately the best plan  ;D

Does she live in a pen? Could she be rubbing her nose on wire?

Am I looking at sort of warty growths either side of the nose?

This part of her nose is different, goes as far as between her eyes and down to her nostrils
