Optional Information

Pet's Age: 10

Already Tried:
He has had all of the normal tests at the vet besides X-rays. We went to Pet Smart and they really didn't have a diagnosis for us. It is very expensive and just tramatic to not have any idea what to do or how to treat it. When it begins I hold his head up so that the blood will clot. That usually gets it to stop.

Accepted Answer

This site goes over nasal bleeding and includes some first aid like a cold compress over the bridge of the dog's nose

It also goes through the testing done to figure the problem out.

This could be anything from high blood pressure, a bleeding problem, a tumor, an inhaled weed seed etc.

You can read more about nasal issues here and see a good picture of how complex the nose in a dog is too

If this is a nasal cancer I had good luck with treating using Piroxicam and Misoprostol to keep the dog out of pain and shrink the tumor a little and keep the stomach from being impacted by the pain med.

I'd plan on seeing another vet than a pet smart vet.

Hope this helps you!
