Question
My puppy's nose is turning white and hard on the edges of her nose i was wondering if this is something i should be worried about or what. I am taking her to the vet on Monday but i want to know something sooner to see if I should take her sooner. Thank you!

Hi again!If the nose is turning white, it is depigmenting. That can be a sign of certain autoimmune diseases. Your vet will be able to tell you if that might be the problem. Often a steroid creme can help these.


Hi Jordan!If she is healthy otherwise, I wouldn't worry but try to put some Vitamin E on it to help soften it. Or ask your vet about a product called Kerasolv.  
 
I hope this helps!Nicole.D.
