Hi there. Nova could have an abrasion from rubbing her face on something rough, or could have a mild allergy to something causing the redness. I would rub some vitamin E oil on her face to sooth it and monitor. If it gets worse, have your vet examine her. I hope that helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
