Hello, sorry to hear about Moose. It looks like that may be a contact allergy from rubbing his nose and mouth on something that irritated him. You can wipe the area with a damp cloth and make sure it is not getting wider or that Moose is not rubbing his face. If you not any discharge, pain, swelling, or progressive redness and hair loss then have him evaluated by his veterinarian sooner. Otherwise, it should begin to get better within 3-5 days. Hope this helps and best of luck.
