As you can see the hair thinning/loss is not too drastic, but the top of his snout was solid black fur a couple months ago. I will keep taking pictures to track any further changes. I was hoping to catch a potential issue early in its stages, in case this isn't just him rubbing the fur off his nose one time while I was at work or something.

Here are some pics of Vigo: Top View http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a304/GermanShepLuv/004.jpg Side View http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a304/GermanShepLuv/002.jpg I just popped open some Vitamin E capsules and smeared them on the inflamed areas. I also bought some stuff called Snout Soother, but the Vitamin E worked better. The process of trying to get it on his nose taught him a cute trick...run out of the kitchen, jump on the loveseat and stick his nose behind a pillow

I don't like the little bumps. Use a cream, not the spray. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/
