Sore nose rope

[ruby]

The past couple of days Ruby has been scratching her face along the carpet at first I though it was her ears that where irritating her she's recently been treated for an ear infection until I lifted her wrinkle above her nose and it's so sore poor thing we clean them out everyday with baby wipes and dry them as much she'l allow us as she hates having her ropes cleaned, does anyone have any suggestion as to what to use to help clear it up, I was thinking maybe abit of sudocream or something along them lines but wasn't to sure if that would irritate it

Thanks
Donna

Poor baby. Desitin works wonders for my boys.

I use witch hazel on a cotton ball, and then the diaper cream or douxo pads (I get them on Amazon).

agree with others..... witch hazel on cotton pad and desitin or monkey butt paste

Yes, agree with all - I would wipe first with witch hazel, dry - then apply some destin or baby ointment. Use a Q-tip, its much easier application for in the ropes

Thanks every apologies for only just replying to your comments I've come down with the flu, which has turned my brain into a sieve I'd completely forgotten I'd written this post.....can I buy the destin off line or will I need to get this off my vet?

You can get it on Amazon for example. It's diaper rash cream....healing thoughts for you both...

Like the others said, I too generally use a soft kleenex or cotton ball with some witch hazel. At one point, Tate's nose rope was infected and I had to use a Duoxo foam cleanser. Tate's nose rope is very deep and he accumulates a lot of dirt/grime there every day. It's like a belly button that attracts a lot of lint!

Hope Ruby's doing better

Thanks everyone - I ordered some destin off line which came this morning , so hopefully Ruby's nose rope will be on the road to recovery in no time [emoji3]

Hope you and your boy fell better soon. The Desitin should help.

Our vet cautioned us against Desitin because it contains zinc.
So we stopped using it although WB didn't grow two heads or orther ill-effects from it.

its only dangerous if consumed in large amounts. but i know that with tyson, i put it in his folds, he can't reach them at all - and i dont use it anywhere else where he may lick it. so totally safe if used like this
