Crust and red nose

[Linzig33]

Hello I have taken a picture of crust and redness around my boys nose which I have I just noticed tonight. He isn’t sneezing and doesn’t have runny eyes so I’m not sure what this could be? It appears to bother him when I tried to get a closer look. The pictures make it seem much brighter but in real life it isn’t so noticeable, I had him up close to me for a cuddle when I spotted it. Any advice would be great, thank you.

Hi! Just keep an eye on it for it. Hopefully it is just an almighty one-off sneeze from some hay or hay dust getting into his nose.
The picture is of Carwyn having stuck his nose where it obviously should not have gone in July. I have pictures from shortly before where his nose is perfectly fine and it was fine again once he had cleaned himself.


If the area goes larger and creates more and more hair loss and soreness on his nose, you are dealing with a fungal infection.
He if is showing more signs of wheezy or crackly breathing or yellowish/greenish gunk around the eyes, then you are dealing with a URI.

Great thanks for your advice. I panicked when I saw it as I have my two out all the time and was worried i hadn’t noticed it before. Will definitely keep a close eye
