Re: Help Pale Nose

Pale and/or grayish gums warrant an IMMEDIATE vet check, as something serious is likely going on. A couple possibilities are hemolytic anemia or heartworm. Please get him to a vet without delay!

I'm with Moondog. This is an alarming symptom.

Re: Help Pale Nose

Yes go to the vet quickly!! Is your dog an outside dog? Could be heat stroke, flea infestation (bad in Houston), heart worm (also bad in Houtson)...so many possibilities. Let us know what your vet says!
