Very Rough Dry Cracked Nose

[Springergirl]

Actually I haven't tried Sorbelene so might have a whirl with that

Vaseline, Bepanthen, even a good lip balm will work. You could even try Paw Paw ointment.

SpringGirl - that nose reminds me of a disease I cant put a name to right now - has the vet investigated?

There is a disease called Nasal Aspergillosis which makes the nose look very similar to this but there would also be a discharge and quite often little blood clots, perhaps that is what you are thinking of.

My regular vet has seen it and is not at all concerned

Huh?

If anyone's nose looked like that, I would certainly be concerned. Those open 'wounds' are a possible source of infection from bacteria getting in (think dogs licking under tail, sniffing around the yard...)

Must be painful too

Hope for your dog's sake you find something which will help
