Gavin was outside for his morning routine and came back in with what looks like two puncture holes on his nose up near his eyes.  Does this look like some type of a bite?  I cleaned it up with peroxide and he is already on anti-biotics (which he is on for an extended period to a reoccurance of fever and elevated white blood cells a few weeks ago) and we have a vet appointment for tomorrow morning for blood tests.  Anything else I should be doing?  Energy is normal and he did not struggle when I dressed the wound.

Not great pictures but...

 

 

UPDATE!

So just got back from the vet and Gavin now has a poodle nose (got shaved down).  The vet though that a scratch from the fence was most likely.  He may have even done it in response to a bite - to try and scratch his itch.  As you can see he has a couple of other marks lower on his nose too.  They were not very deep once the nose was shaved.  It looks worse than it is really.

 

For those of you that have been following our "fever of unknown origin" saga, It looks like a lingering kidney infection was the problem.  Two weeks on anti-biotics and the  white blood cell count and temp are back to normal.  Urine is much better, but still a little protien.  He also gained two pounds - yeh!  We are doing two more weeks of anti-biotics and a follow up test to be sure.  So hopefully we are good and are leaving for a week at the cottage this afternoon.  Whew!

Um, no, but I am pretty sure I know the plot...
Hahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  He is very white but does he sparkle?

Laurie, you just can't help yourself can you? Hilarious.

I am with the rest of them, after looking I'll just bet it's some kind of fence or wood scrape....silly doodle.

 

I don't know what it looks like, but it sure looks like it would hurt.  Poor baby!  Hope it heals right up. 
See original discussion for today's update :)
I'm glad he's feeling better, and that his puncture wounds are just scratches.  Will he need sunscreen on that shaved nose while you're at the cottage?  Enjoy your trip!
Thanks Leslie - really good point about the sunscreen - I would not have thought of that - thank you!
Glad to hear the good news about the nose and fever. Have fun at your cottage and take some great pictures.
Oh this poor guy's nose looks sore.  I'm very happy to hear that the antibiotics are working, and that his counts are back to normal.  A little R & R at the lake is just what you all need.  Have fun!
