Topic Dog Boards / Health / Can dogs get cold sores?
- By Jo19 [gb] Date 30.11.03 17:58 UTC
This may seem like a silly question, but someone has told me that Cam has a cold sore on his nose. Is it possible, and if so, should I be concerned? I've noticed that he's had a little bumpy-type spot on his nose for a while, but it didn't look at all inflamed or weepy and wasn't irritating him, so I've just left it. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Jo :)

Hi Jo
is it posible he could have grazed it while mooching about on a walk perhaps - when he has been sniffing something?
Cold sores  originate from herpes and I'm not sure whether dogs can get this??

Exactly - which was why I thought it was a bit unlikely. But I thought I'd ask to see if someone knew something I didn't!

Thanks

Jo

Iy may be nothing to be concerned with , however , my bully had a spot on his chin , a little red lump , again not inflamed or irritating and was diagnosed with Acne ! it maybe this as a suggestion.
