My husky has cuts/rash on her snout. Should I wait or see a vet?

Question

My Siberian Husky (2 years old) has a series of cuts or a rash on the top of her snout, she enjoys playing with my cats and I think she may be scratching her. I’ve only noticed it a few days ago. Should I wait or take her to my vet? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 60 lbs

This looks like the kind of scratches dogs gets from rubbing their nose under a fence or kennel - I wonder if that's a possibility for Luna. The issue does not look very serious at this point, so I think it would be fine to monitor her. If you're noticing the redness or scratches spreading or if she seems otherwise off, I would schedule a vet appointment. If her nose heals over the next few days, you don't need to do anything. Good luck! Let me know if this was helpful advice or setup a consultation if you need further help.
