Topic Dog Boards / Visitors Questions / Gorgeous Black nose - scarred !
- By Guest [gb] Date 28.10.05 10:19 UTC
Does anyone have any advice on helping to heal a bitten nose? (The dogs not mine!) At the moment I am just putting salt water on it. Also where it was bitten the black pigment/nose skin has come off - will this "grow" back or not.  Thank you. Victoria

Hi. My pup did this not from a bite but he scuffed his nose. So he was left with a pink bit. The black top layer had come off completely Depending on how deep it was it did go back to black eventually. Personally I would leave it alone and let nature do its work.
A good thing I was told to encourage coat growth after a cut/scar etc is rub a small amount of coconut oil on the area. It really does work and quickens the growing time nearly double.

Hi my puppy was bitten on the nose at about 14 weeks, I was mortified as he had these 3 pink teeth marks, I mentioned it to the vet and asked if his nose would return to black, she said she wasnt sure...BUT a few weeks later his nose healed perfectly and not a scar in sight.

Perhaps my Lab's little nose scrape was deeper but it did leave a little, round, gray scar, about 1/8 of an inch in diameter.  As she aged it grew larger and is now about 1/4 inch  in diameter.  However, she's also 12 now so it took a long time to grow since she got it as a puppy.  I know how you feel though, it bugs me to see her pretty black nose with that gray spot on it.  I wonder if magic marker is toxic?  Just kidding.

My Border Collie scraped her nose back to the pink as a puppy.  It did go black again but took a few weeks.

my dog had a bite on the nose when he was a year, within a month you couldnt see it. it turned from a bleeding hole, to pink and then back to black.
