Bebe's nose :(

Bebe<3 · Aug 14, 2011

Just tonight I noticed a bald spot near bebe's nose. I thought it was just her fur so I tried smoothing it down. She let me touch it and it doesn't seem to be hurting her but it seems kind of pink. I haven't let my dog anywhere near her today but could this be a scratch? I'm very worried about her and I don't know of any vet near me that takes exotics should i be concerned?

Also I took a couple pictures but not sure how to add them on here :x

If you have an account on photo bucket, you can insert the image with the image code. Sorry to hear about your babie's boo boo. One of my boys got loose and got hurt by the nose. I did notice there was a missing patch of hair by his nose, but it wasn't pink.

I'm guessing it's a little pink because that's just the color of her skin? She let's me touch it but I'm really nervous it could be something more.

Could be fungus

Take a picture and we'll hopefully be able to tell what it is. In the mean time start researching and find a vet that accepts chinchillas. This may not be an emergency but what happens if an emergency were to occur and you had no vet?
