My dog has a pink spot on her nose. Is it serious or a vet emergency?

Question

last night I discovered my 2 year old chiweenie had a pink dot on her nose I got a little worried when I did some research but she doesn't seem in pain she still eats a lot but I don't know if I should be worried or not and I can't take her to a vet until Monday so I want to make sure I'm not making a big deal out of this. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 12 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Marly normally has a black nose and now you see a small pink area it could be that she rubbed it on something and has an abrasion. Also sometimes the pigment can change. I do not think it is an emergency and can wait until your Vet opens. If you want to post a picture I may be able to help better. I hope this helps and good luck!
