Poor Violet! Some crusting around the nose and a sudden cere color change can indicate the possibility of an infection going on, especially if there is discolored discharge or crusting stuck to the nose. Cleaning the nose and removing any debris may make things more comfortable for Violet, however if it returns or she begins to show signs of illness, having a vet take a look is best. They may need to flush the nostrils of any debris, or start Violet on an antibiotic or fungal medication to resolve the issue.
