My Labrador puppy has dry, pink nostrils. When to see a vet?

Question

My Labrador puppy has a dry appearance on her nostrils since yesterday and looks pink now as if it's healing. Is it possible she scratched herself? Should I take her to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 8 days old | 24 lbs

It looks like Tasha had some nasal discharge that dried up. If after you wipe it away with a washcloth soaked with warm water, it does not return, and she continues to eat/drink/play normally, she will likely be fine. If she continues to have nasal and /or eye discharge, starts coughing and/or sneezing, and becomes tired/lethargic, she may be developing a respiratory infection that would benefit from a vet’s visit and possibly antibiotics. She is beautiful! Good luck!
