Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. I agree that the lesion is more severe than what is typically seen with a runny nose. Her veterinarian may recommend an antibiotic trial or further testing to look for other causes such a a fungal infection or an autoimmune skin disease. I hope this information helps!
