Hello. I honestly can not really distinguish what you are concerned about on Motley's snout, but I would guess you are seeing warts or perhaps small tumors. This is not necessarily a scary sign, especially given her age. Since I really cannot evaluate her skin thoroughly, just have your vet look at things at your earliest convenience. No emergency to do so, just maybe in the next week if you can. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
