I just took Sparkles out for soaking. I noticed before I soaked her that her left nostril looked clogged or just odd to me. I soaked her for a few minutes and saw that the "clog" was loose so I grabbed the tweezers to get it off for her and now she has a big hole in her nose!!!! What is this? What did I do? How do I treat it? I'm sooo scared for her!!

sorry they are fuzzy..I took them with my phone.
Sparkles needs to get to a vet asap. It seems she has had a nasal infection for awhile. Thats why that piece fell off.
Keep us updated as to how she's doing.

I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and hopefully they can get me in!! I have her paper towels right now because I was worried about substrate getting in her nose. I'm so worried!!!!
Thanks Danny
Good luck with Sparkles at the Vet tomorrow, hopefully you have caught it in time. Definitely keep her on paper towels.
It might have been something like a piece of grass or a sticker or something that lodged in a nostril and caused pus to form around it...then the pus hardened and that's what you picked off. At any rate, he'll need a course of antibiotics to be sure there isn't any infection left. Also, the vet will put your mind at ease about what's actually happening there.

I feel so bad. I had no idea!! She had been treated for a RI. I thought she was doing well. She eats well.
I will let you all know what the vet says. Poor little baby.
Good luck - hope everything goes well! We will be thinking about you!
