My dog's nose is red and dry on one side. When should I see a vet?

Question

Hi I noticed that my dog has one side of her nose looking quite red, but almost dry looking ontop. Hopefully this description makes sense. It doesnt seem to be causing her any discomfort. Is this something to be concerned about? Should I take her to my vet? Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | spayed

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lexi. I do recommend that she sees her veterinarian. Her nose looks very sore and raw. She may require an oral antibiotic to help the wound to heal. She may also be checked for other signs of autoimmune skin disease as the nose can be one of the first areas of affected. I hope this information helps!
