Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. Her skin appears very raw and irritated. She will be examined and her veterinarian will discuss possible diagnoses as well as treatment. For example, she may have a skin infection. This can be secondary to allergies, fleas or even fly bites. There are also rare autoimmune skin disease that can affect the nose. The veterinarian will guide you on how to help her feel better. In the meantime, place an E-collar on her so that she cannot scratch her nose. I hope this information helps!
