Dry, crusty nose. Any recommendations?
« on: March 22, 2011, 09:31:05 AM »
Hi Everyone.

My little Freya has a really dry, crusty nose.  I have tried rubbing vaseline in daily............but it doesn't seem to be making any great difference.

Do you have any tried and tested remedies?

Thanks in advance.  :luv: :luv:

Sorry to hear about Freya's nose. I used to use E45 cream on Holly and it worked well,(vet recommended)

Thank you so much Holly Berry... :luv: :luv:

I have heard of this cream before....................so, now that you recommend it, I will give it a try. 

Poor little girl looks really odd.............all crusty. :005:

Kizzy has always had a crusty nose, i just used vaseline, but it seems to be worse if she eats those rawhide chews, they seem to bung her up so i stopped her having them

That is very interesting...................I give Freya rawhide chews.  Do you think it makes a difference now?  If so, I'll have to try to find an alternative chewy. :luv: :luv:

I watched a program this week where they put KY jelly on a lizard to help it shed its dry skin not sure if this would work on a cocker nose

definatley,its much better when she has other chews such as tripe sticks . it only effects kiz not my other three, but her nose is worse when shes had them, i have had to unblock one of her nostrils as its been completely closed over with gung, so i dont give her them at all now
