Very pink rash? under dogs nose

this is weird

noticed what i can only describe as a rash on bruno's nose this morning.

picture isnt the best: basically the black bit under/on his nostrils is all pink like inflamed but not swollen.

any ideas what this could be / he doesnt seem ill, unhappy or anything and is eating normally but it looks really sore?

Has he been digging at all Dani , My dog Juke used to get something similar from digging xxdk

Hi Dani it is difficult to tell from the picture, is it spots or a pink patch, could he have burnt it?

hi dk
nah he isnt much of a digger !!

mini- its a crap photo but he wouldnt stay still -it looks like a burn - but cant think what he could have burnt it on. we dont have a fire - if anything i would say it looks more like a chemical burn....

...Dani is it dry or weeping, does it feel hotter than the surrounding tissue? If if feels hot it may benefit from a cloth rung out in very cold water and gently held to the area ...poor old Bruno ..

Has he been sleeping by a radiator/hot pipe..

nope doesnt feel overly hot either, no he sleeps on our bed or on the sofa and we have underfloor heating. My hubby mentioned that he had been sniffing round the back of the garage door which is still unfinished and has some rockwool insulation sticking out so am thinking it could be that which has made it itchy and then he has rubbed it off something rough.
he doesnt seem at all bothered so will see what its like in the morning.

thanks for your ideas though will let you know what happens.

shamus gets that when he has a seizure from rubbing it on the floor,maybe its carpet burn any ladies around

thanks posted at the same time...

think he might have rubbed it off something so just skinned it...silly boy.]he isnt bothered he just looks a bit daft !!

aww bless him it usually takes shamus about 4 days to get his sorted xxx

Could be a carpet burn !!!

MY boy used to rub his nose on the carpet and scoot along on his nose when he got excited, which created something that looks the same, so could be that he's scratching it or rubbing it on the carpet !
