Mark on nose..

A

Azucena

Alpha Buck
This mark has been there since I got him (3 months ago). It wasn't commented on when he went in for his neuter or vaccinations.. I was just wondering what it might be? It is just his pigmentation?

mine had that too:? one of mine is due to her nose always being damp but the other, bluebell-well its just there...:?
 
Looks like some skin discolouration, perhaps a bit of scar tissue? Perhaps bun rubbed nose on bars or something too much at one point and it scabbed and scarred without you noticing?

Could just be a bit of pigmentation and the fact he's had it all his life would suggest something perhaps from when he was a baby.
 
If you shaved him then his skin would look black (where his dark fur is) and pink (where his white fur is). If he grew fur in that place it would be black. It just looks like pigmentation to me, that's all. I have a few with this too :)

Sorry I should have mentioned he was about 18 months old when I got him, therefore don't know if he's had it all his life. He used to live in hutch with his previous owner, so I guess either of your suggestions is a possibility! Thanks. :D

Thank you! Glad it seems to be nothing to worry about. :D
 
I would have thought the vet would have mentioned it to you if there was a concern.....!!

All the best
