Hello guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows what my dog has on his nose? Nikon has had this for about 3-4 weeks now. He is usually out doors when I am at school. Then I started to notice his nose all pink and burnt!!! I took him to the vet and he was prescribed Prenisone 20.
I also bought an ez up canopy to give extra shade from the sun in the backyard and purchased some sensitive skin sunblock and placed it on his nose when i went to school. this as seemed to have worked and he got some black back on the tip of his nose up until about 3 days ago.
If you notice on the back of the nose there is a slight discoloration, it seems to be growing.
Does anyone have an idea what this could be? I plan to take him to the vet this weekend.
Thank you,
Ryan

Discoid Lupus Erythematosus? that did sound like what the vet said the first time i brought him in. Could that grow past the nose and grow into the blue circle region i posted above?

"Often, keeping the dog out of direct sunlight is all that is needed. Sunscreen protection is also helpful (use sunscreens made specifically for dogs. The Zinc Oxide that is included in many human sunscreens can be toxic to dogs if they lick it off)."
