Hi All!

Special thanks to all the help you’ve given me already in previous posts. Now that my V has finally crossed 4 months, I’m finally getting more of the hang of things, and so is he!

Anyway, I’ve noticed maybe once or twice a month my guy has a really dry nose that begins to peel. This is something definitely noticeable when I wake him up in the morning, and I once also saw his nails and one of his paws peeling a little, just a day or so after giving them a trim (pics posted).  

I live in an apartment in NYC, so the air in here can get quite dry when the weather is colder out. I did notice a little bit of dandruff after I brought him home a week or two, back in April, but even my vet said that from what he sees visually, it’s nothing of a concern. Upon looking online, I’m thinking it either has to do with the dryness in the air or maybe it’s even sunburn? None of this seems to bother him, as he doesn’t scratch, lick, or paw at any of these dry areas. Along with his kibble, I give him about half a sardine each day in his diet. I know increasing his omega 3s will directly impact his skin and coat, but I also don’t want to overdo it while he’s so young. 

Thanks in advance for everyone chiming in!!
