Random question I know but my mum says Pebbles has a cut on her nose... and I'm concerned it maybe something obviously I've not seen it, is it probably just a cut I can't think how she would have got it... :(

I'm worried....
 
I'm sure that she is fine and its just a tiny cut from scratching or something. :))

Stop worrying, you need time to relax and remember to breathe. Do you remember how to do that? :))
 
Inhanle exhale inhale exhale don't worry hun i'm sure she is fine.
 
It's probably just an accidential scratch - nothing to worry about!
 
Ceilitis (not sure on spelling) is a fungal thing that looks like a vertical line down the nose , some of mine get it, daktarin cream does the trick. It can look like a cut down the nose as they knock the scab off. It's not dangerous and they seem fine otherwise

Is that the fungal nose stripe, I've read about that... well if it is just a normal cut I'm sure with the speed piggies heal at it will be gone tomorrow and you never know it could have been food or something!

My mum just likes making me paranoid!
 
Fungal nose stripe is a little different from cheilitis. Cheilitis is a scabbiness of the area between the nose and upper lip, from what I've seen about it. Fungal nose stripe is a bumpy, hard-skin line above the nose.

Did your mum say where the little cut is? If it's just a tiny little scratch, it'll probably be gone within a day.
