[Dailydrool] Noses

[Richlyn Roach]

I understand that there are several causes for loss of pigmentation in canine noses.   Our sweet Molly had always had a jet black nose until about six months ago.   I did a little research and found a website called naturalcanine.com which listed Discoid Lupus as a possible cause and the treatment is aurum pills and sulphur pills (which they just happen to sell).   I sent off for some, gave them to her, and her problem went away..... Her poor little (not) nose was not only-- not black--, but it had cracks and  sore places on it.       She still has little flair ups, but I keep the stuff on hand and give it to her for a week or so and it gets better.  They sell a little "kit" which has the two types of pills plus some lotion in it, but I can assure you I couldn't  keep any lotion on her nose--(however, it was pretty good hand lotion).  Just another possibility.
