Take her to your veterinarian for an immediate check up. This sign is compatible with a upper respiratory tract infection (fungal, bacterial/viral more common) of the nasal mucosa. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
