I just noticed today that Natalya has kinda a lump, about 3/4 of an inch long on the left side of her nose... it wasnt there yesterday.. or if it was, i didnt notice.... honestly as of right now, i have no money (although i will on friday) .. any idea as to what it could be? its not hard, kinda soft and mushy.. doesnt seem to hurt her when i touch it.... and like i said, hopefully i can take her to the vet but not before friday....

is it near her eyes?

juliet9521 · #3 05-03-2005, 06:57 PM

no... shes a husky and its closer to the tip... where the blackness ends, is where it begins...

I'm hopin my parents are right that its just a bug bite or something.. (she often puts her nose in places it shouldnt be)... im gonna see how it progresses the next day or two.. if it gets bigger or tender or any other kind of change.. i can take her to the vet.. i have the money for a visit (well, i can probably get it from my mother

its only between 32 and 40) but who knows what they are gonna wanna do... ya know, stick a needle in there or something...

It sounds like a bite to me. Can you get a picture??

Husky's are notorious for getting their noses into places they shouldn't be.

You cant see extremely well (i wish he wouldve taken a picture from the front) but you should get the point

you see its kinda raised

Chrisanne · #7 05-03-2005, 09:07 PM

yeah that looks like a bite to me. Of course i'm not up close and personal so that would require a vet if it hasn't gone down.

I'd just watch to make sure she still eats normal and doesn't exhibit any signs of ill health until you can get her into the vet.

I don't know that I would go sticking a needle in it... Maybe try a warm compress three times a day or so. Though I agree, if it doesn't go down in the next day or two, take your baby to the vet.

oh no, didnt mean i was going to stick a needle.. i was just readin on a website that that is some way the vets see what it is.... so far, so good... hasnt gotten any bigger, shes still her normal self.. i told her it better not get any bigger or i was cuttin her nose off

.. she didnt believe me tho.. she was too busy beggin me for my dinner

Could it be a Tick? My dog would get those around this time of the year.

juliet9521 · #11 05-04-2005, 01:27 AM

im doubting the tick.... never seen those around here

lilchris_28 · #12 05-04-2005, 01:32 AM

Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they're not there... THEY'RE EVERYWHERE...AAAHHHH! (sorry couldn't resist the urge)

juliet9521 · #13 05-04-2005, 04:20 PM

YAY, my puppy is getting her pretty face back... im happy to say that it seems to be getting smaller.. when i woke up, it looked like it had gotten bigger... but now you have to KNOW its there to see it... i had to grab her face to look, where before you could see it no problem

heavensmom · #14 05-04-2005, 04:23 PM

Im glad to see shes doing better.

Chrisanne · #15 05-04-2005, 08:42 PM

That's great. I'm glad she's getting better.
