I adopted my baby Millie about a month ago- she is now four months old. So far we have spent a lot of time and $$ on vet visits... she has already had a "foreign body" in her eye and now has demodex mange.
She has a very large nose rope which I was originally told to clean twice a day with sensitive skin baby wipes. It seems like every time I clean it with the baby wipe- more tiny hairs come out- leaving the area more and more irritated. I'm only just lightly brushing the surface. The real issue is that there seems to be like a "cake-y" brown substance in the nose rope hair. This gunk can't just be wiped clean but I can pull it out using my fingers. Its pretty gross and smelly. (My boyfriend says its gross but - I call it nose peanut butter)
I've attempted to search the site for nose rope guidelines but I'm still unclear as to how they should be cleaned. I would ask the vet but I forgot during our mange visit.
Has anyone seen what I am describing- or have a nose rope routine that would prevent this moisture/infection?
Thanks for your help,
Katie + Millie
