The most common clinical sign for owners to seek veterinary care in reference to the nasal planum is depigmentation in dogs and ulceration in cats. Proliferative (nodular) diseases are less common in dogs than in cats, because cats are more prone to develop squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal planum. Because a wide variety of diseases may present with similar clinical signs, the most helpful diagnostic test (after a thorough history and physical examination) is a skin biopsy. Discoid lupus erythematosus is the most common disease affecting the nasal planum of dogs in the author's practice.
主人因鼻镜问题寻求兽医护理时，最常见的临床症状在犬类中是色素沉着减退，在猫类中是溃疡。增生性（结节性）疾病在犬类中比在猫类中少见，因为猫更容易发生鼻镜鳞状细胞癌。由于多种疾病可能表现出相似的临床症状，（在进行全面的病史询问和体格检查之后）最有用的诊断测试是皮肤活检。在作者的临床实践中，盘状红斑狼疮是影响犬鼻镜最常见的疾病。
