MC had a small bump by his nostril that seemed to be growing. The vet wanted to keep an eye on it and said it was some sort of non dangerous thing and not worth operating on. Suddenly, it was gone. I think the goof rubbed it off but now I wonder if it was something like yours and he rubbed it out.Cocoa has a nare that is significantly smaller than the other one. We think he has a rhinolith (also called nasolith) which is a "nose stone" or a small calcium and phospherous stone that that your body makes, usually around a foriegn object.
When my vet noted his nare she told me to keep an eye on it (we didn't know what was causing it yet). I checked back in his HS records and found he had a stone removed before so may be prone to them. The last one was removed with tweezers without incident.
