Rough, Dry, Fast-Growing Growth on Dog’s Muzzle

August 5, 2014

Hi Sherry,
The photo of Kora’s nose area looks more like a wound or ulcer, instead of a growth.

I would suggest that you use Calendula tincture 2-3 times daily, and apply it to her nose area with either your finger or Q-tip, whichever is the least stressful for her.

Calendula is an herb that is useful for helping gaping wounds to heal. It will not hurt Kora if she licks some of it and swallows it.

If this area is NOT starting to heal in the next 72 hours, please take her to a holistic veterinarian. It may be necessary to do a bacterial and/or fungal culture, skin scraping, etc.

I’m happy to report that Kora’s nose healed nicely with the application of the calendula tincture. After a couple of days we began to see an improvement and now it is completely healed, it just needs more hair to grow in over it.
