Nose Scratch! Pigment gone! EEK!

• Nose Scratch! Pigment gone! EEK! Kara Posted : 7/14/2006 9:18:02 AM Gracie somehow got a very minor surface scratch on her nose. It happened last weekend sometime. It didn't bleed, got a very light scab then the scab came off and ACK! her black nose pigment is gone where the scratch is! It is not infected. Will the black come back where the scratch was or will it remain a pink line forever?

• ewin0210 Posted : 7/14/2006 9:32:27 AM It should come back. Scout's had this happen many times when his big brown nose got to pushy towards certain cats in my house! Might leave a slight scar, but it shouldn't stay that pink forever! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jensw Posted : 7/14/2006 12:54:47 PM but it shouldn't stay that pink forever!   Unless you have a dog like Bella, who refuses to learn. LOL! She has a permanent pink stripe 'cause as soon as it starts to heal up, she gets swiped again. [8D]    But seriously "ditto" what Emily said.  We've had a few cat scratches around here.

• gradyupmybutt Posted : 7/14/2006 3:29:11 PM Grady developed a pink portion of his nose last winter.  It's gone to black now.  I'm interested to see what this winter will bring. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Karen Posted : 7/14/2006 4:41:07 PM I know with Malamutes and Sibe's they can get what is called snow nose, I presume other breeds can get it too. It's when the black pigment turns to pink. Some it will come back others it wont. Mine scratched his nose as a pup trying to stick his head under the fence and it has stayed pink ever since, but it has got biiger. Also feeding out of plastic dishes can cause it too apparently. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
