Nose Bleed in Dogs

My Australian cattle lab has been having her nose/mouth bleed for the last few weeks. Before that happen she gain a lot of weight and have grown lazy due to her age. The bleeding from the mouth/nose has raised a concern for our family.

My pup was going to go get fixed today but couldn't because he got just a little bit aggressive with the vets coming at him and his nose started bleeding. Never has he ever had a nose bleed before but I do know he was stressed, scared, and so forth along with being very hungry. Could there be any other issue? Could it have easily been stress?

My pit bull was 12 years old and an indoor dog. He had lost s lot of weight and one day had actual blood clots leaving his nose. it would slow down at some points and pick back up. His weakness was so bad, I managed to pour water in my hand and allow him to drink from my palms; it was then when i noticed that the water started to get blood in it as well from his tongue. you heard a click in his breathing. The blood clots were so bad, he had to be put down :( we still never got to find out what the problem was but the doctor narrowed it down to be possible pneumonia or cancer. What kind of cancer could cause this?

Zeus was alwaing down the stairs and fell we found him standing and ok but blood was everywhere we cleaned him up and he seemed ok. I checked on him today while he was relaxing and his nose was running and he seemed like his left nostril was maybe blocked. Will it clear up by it self or will I have to get the blood out of his nose ?

Hi,

My wife and I have a 10 year old lab-mix. Recently she had really droopy, blood-shot and gunky eyes. We freaked out and took her to the vet and after some tests the only thing that they could determine was conjunctivitis. We started her on eye cream twice daily and it started to get better but has gone in/out. The next day after visiting the vet we realized she was sneezing and spraying blood everywyere. We took her back and after examination they could not determine anything and just figured it was related to the conjunctivits. It seemed to get better. Earlier this week she started spraying blood all-over again and we took her back to the vet for blood work which all came back normal but our dog does have a UTI. The vet then reccomeneded a ultrasound, but has no idea what is causing the bloody nose. We took her to another vet for a second opinion and also can not figure out the connection and suggests we go to a specialist OR start her on steroids. One other weird sympton is that she has been somewhat disoriented and leans her head to the right and sometimes twitches.

We love our dog but do not have the money to go through all sorts of tests to receive no explanation. If someone could tell us "it is this" then we would be better suited to make decisions. We just don't know if we can do ultrasounds and CT scans and still not receive an answer to what the issue is or worse find out that it is cancer/tumor/etc. As a 10 year old lab, she is doing great outside of the bloody nose and being a little bit slow to move around. She is still barking at cats and wants to play even though she can't.

Does anyone have any words of advice, thoughts, been through a similar situation?!

My 9 week old puppy was outside with my older dog and he must have snapped at her on the snout. She immediately started crying and when I picked her up she was bleeding a little from her nostril and then started puffing up on the bridge of her snout. It is swollen and painful (she will not let me apply a cold cloth). Is this something that needs immediate medical attention or should I monitor to see if the swelling goes down?

My dog zoe started coughing a couple of months ago then she had an episode where she was spraying blood everywhere Chocking on her blood. She was taken to after hours. Blood tests were done no poison and get blood is clotting. Went back to our vet the next day after she had sneezed out a stone. The bleeding stopped and we thought she was fine. 4 wks later and the bleeding started again. Swabs and samples were taken xrays done. Turning up nothing aside from a possible abnormality of her nasal bone. According to the radiographer.
We are currently waiting on a fungal culture that has been culturing for 1.5 wks and still negative. They also did nasal flushes and had a good look up her nose and down her thrher and only saw inflammation and infection. Said it was secondary and are treating with antibiotics. She seems to be worse day 4 of antibiotics and she is bleeding daily now and coughing often. We won't treat for something unless we know it's what it is due to finances being used up quickly trying to get diagnosis. Need help knowing what's going on or at least what it most likely is please

My dog is a bullmastif and it was bleeding from the nose yesterday. We took it to the vet as soon as possible and they gave him meds and took a blood sample. Today when we called they said he has tick fever. I just want to know if he will be alright and necessary steps I should take for him to be fine. He eats well and has shown no sign of weakness so far. Although he has a rash in the skin and his hair falls off... Please help!

What could possibly be wrong with her? We have no vets office open until Monday morning. I don't know what to do to help her. She has no injuries that I am aware of. She's acting fine, she's laying in her bed sleepimy right now. Please help.

Hi Dr. My one year old German Shepherd suffers from nose bleeds (one nostril) whenever he is in the sun and gets a little bit active. I had put it down to the heat as We live in a hot climate. Do suggest if I should change his diet or if you think it's something more severe? Thanks

My dogs nose bleeds when she sneezes. I have done reach and it's seems she has infection. She had no other systems, no poisons, no cleaning products she inhaled. The air runs where she sleeps. I think it caused her to have respitory issues.

My golden retriever is 8 years old and he was diagnosed with lymphoma about a month ago. He also has a fast growing tumor on his right front leg. He has starting bleeding from his nose for about three weeks now. The vet gave us some medicine to control the bleeding but it's not working. When he bleeds he has blood clots coming out of his nose. He bleeds twice or three times a day. We try to keep him calm and clean but we don't know what to do anymore. The vet said they could do multiple tests to figure out what is causing the nose bleed but we don't want to put him thought the pain of Exams and other analysis. We don't know if he is now in pain all the time and the blood is just another symptom of the cancer. We want some advice to know if it's time to make him rest. We would really appreciate to hear your opinion. He eats well and still goes to walks Daily, he is tired but still alert and playful.

I got my rescue dog, Millie three months ago. Today was our first outing to PetsMart for a spa day. My primary need was to cut her nails. Millie is under 2 years old, 59 LBS and a Staffordshire Terrier. She was VERY excited/stressed at the groomer. They could not do her nails because she flipped out. I took her out of the store, walked her up and down the sidewalk to try to calm her down before we got in the car. She was panting and turning pink and clearly in full panic. Next thing I know she is straining on her harness and starts to bleed from her nose. Not a huge amount, but a stress related nose bleed cannot be good. I took her straight home and there is was no more blood. She has an appt. with her vet for 4/25. Should I take her sooner or does this sound situational and not urgent?

My dog is hit from stone firstly there is only mark on bottom of the eyes and little scratch but after some hours his nose started bleeding from both nasal the blood is coming what should I do ?

Our puppy was playing with the children and he jumped up to grab a toy gun from our son at the same time our son turned to run the other way and the toy gun smacked the puppy right in his face. He yelped and hid and a few minutes later he had some blood coming from his nose. This happend last night and the blood stoped quickly. He is sensitive around his nose area and moves his head away if you pet close to his face. Should I make an appointment with his vet? Or what should I look for?

I have an 18 year old Pomeranian who was diagnosed 8 years ago with an enlarged heart and COPD. He is also mostly blind and deaf. He has been dealing with those conditions considerably well and the vet is amazed of how he has accomodated his condition. In September he had an abcessed tooth which the vet treated with antibiotic since they do not recommend using anesthesia because of how bad his lungs are. While he was examined they found also he has a tumor in his mouth. They don't know if it is cancerous or not without surgery. He has lost some weight because he has some issues eating. In the last week I found blood on his bed and on my bed. He is bleeding from his nose. Is this because of the tumor or is this something else. He sneezes alot now besides coughing all the time due to the COPD. I have exhausted all meds for his cough.

My dog started bleeding in his left nostril, vet thought it was a foreign body so rhinoscopy was advised. We were scheduled after the holidays, Jan 4, but between these periods, my dog started to bleed in his right nostril and loss appetite- his weight dropped from 24kg to 21kg in a week. We had to force feed him. Vet suggested holding off scoping and took blood tests. We foung out he has high kidney values for creatinine, SDMA, and BUN. My dog is being treated with IV fluids and antibiotics, bleeding hasnt stopped and still lost of appetite. She tested him for leptospirosis and tickborne both negative. Now we are a bit lost as she is running out of diagnosis. What are your thoughts?

Hello, my name is Isaac Sr. This is concerning my dog Sassafras. I stepped out of the room where my 9 year old autistic son and 3 year old Border collie Labrador mix pet were in, to do laundry. On my return I quickly noticed drops of blood on the floor. Her nose was bleeding. My son told me he had stepped on her. Her nose does not have any noticeable swelling but continues to bleed. This was about 30 minutes ago from the time of this message. I would greatly appreciate some insight in what you do soon as possible. thank you so much..

Hi, I have 2 yr old lab mix and he randomly got a bloody nose yesterday and since then he's had 7 bloody noses. He has had salmonella poisoning. They put him on prednisone and he has to continue taking it for the rest of his life. Is the steroid the problem?

My dog has nose/jaw/mouth cancer. I'm just trying to keep him comfortable. He sneezes blood off and on. My vet said to use neo-synephrine, which I'm trying but dog fights me on it. Do you have any other advice?

My dog seems to be bleeding from the nose every few weeks or less. It seems to stop and suddenly it begins again. Once it had tick fever and there was a nose bleeding we had received a Basel drop called deaconby the vet which later stoped the bleeding followed with other medication but bit seems to have started again

My dog max is experiencing severe nose bleed. His right nostril. He has an enlarged right eye and the right side of his face is tender. He is eating drinking and going to the loo OK. He has not changed his behaviour. Still a good boy.

Jake is 18 years old, we are not sure what his breed is exactly but he's large with some shepherd mix . 2 months ago his liver enzymes were not normal, our vet said he wasn't going to do a cat scan or biopsy because he's too old. He had 2. rounds of antibiotics with little improvement. The last couple of weeks he has had a nosebleed on and off but recently it bleeds more often and has large clots in it. Could his liver be shutting down, or is there any other explanation?

I have a 4 year old border collie that suffers from Lupus DLE and he is on prednisone. Lately his nose squirts with blood badly and we had him at a vet and its a artery that bleeds is there anything i can do to stop that from bleeding? My house is like a blood bath. I can get the bleeding to stop but i don't want it to happen anymore.

Our 7 yr old male Greyhound suddenly started bleeding from one nostril, it became heavy and he was choking. The vet didn't have any unusual or apparent findings. We went to a more advanced clinic, and a rhinoscopy was performed. A biopsy was benign. The area at the back of the sinuses was very bloody and inflamed. He has been on Prednisone 2.5 months. The bleeding was controlled but he sounded like he was breathing around something in that nostril. A couple of days ago the bleeding started worse than ever, we rushed him to our local vet. X-rays didn't show anything and he was given nasal steroid drops. He is still on Prednisone. He also has a lot of pain for such a normally stoic dog. So he is on tramadol as needed. At this point we cannot afford a CT or MRI. The bleeding is off and on. We don't know what to do but we love this boy, he's a rescue and a wonderful dog.

It's not a nose bleed, but I notice through my shepherd-husky's muzzle (around gums) what looks like some light bleeding (coming from the gums), but when I look in her mouth, she looks fine. This has been going on a while. I take her the vet frequently, and I know I need to go back soon. I have felt a tumor under her arm and into her side for the last 2 years, but she has to be lying on her side to feel it; the vet can't feel it. Lately she's been clearing her throat. She still goes on long daily walks and eats well and seems healthy and happy.

My dog is 4 years old and was playing outside yesterday and she hurts her nose on her ball. Her nose bleed a fair bit and then stopped. Since then she has have sneezing fits, there is no more bloody when she sneezes and she is still active and eating. Wondering if this is common or does she need to see the vet?

Dear Dr. Turner, My golden, 12 years old, is panting & has a nose bleed. One Vet says he probably has cancer or some heart condition. He only pants when in upright position. The blood isn't thick, but kind of mixed with saliva. I cant afford all the tests that should be done. Can cancer be detected by a blood test? Can you help me, please?

My 10 year old male golden retriever has been play fighting a lot with our 5 month old golden retriever puppy. The puppy is aggressive and either bit or clawed the older dog's nose. The nose has been dripping blood and it will drip blood still from time to time. Vet saw the old dog and didn't see a tumor, etc., when he looked up the dogs nose and in his mouth. He gave us antibiotics. Things are still the same with the dripping. This am, old dog chased a squirrel and his nose became really bloody. What happened and what do you think this means? Thanks.

What to do to stop the bleeding on her nose

I bath my dog today with oster flea & tick shampoo, he inhaled it maybe and started sneezing and blood came out a little bit. I am worried about my dog because the shampoo has pesticides in it

My dog is a 11 year old male black lab. For two weeks now he's been having constant nose bleeds, and today he started having cluster seizures. The first one lasted 3 min the second about 1 min. The vets been closed because of the holidays.

My dogs nose started bleeding a couple of days ago while out on a walk. before his nose started bleeding he was running very fast. I think that while he was running something might have gone into his nose or maybe he crashed into something. After his nose bleed, he start sneezing a lot. About 3 days have passed already and he's still sneezing a lot.

My dog has never had nose bleeding problems..... It is cold outside so we brought her inside. We put her outside because we had to go do some errands and when we come back we bring her inside and one of her nostrils was bleeding... Yes is 2 yrs old and is an American bulldog

My dog is about 11-12 years of age. He developed a heart murmur and is on Vetmedin 2.5mg once daily. He started to have nose bleeds about 3-4 month ago, every couple of week or so, from one nostril. Prior to that, he would sneeze quite a bit and also reverse sneeze a lot. I have carpet at my house. Could it be dust mites? I took him to several doctors and have done several exams which included blood coagulation and an x-ray of the head, nothing was found. Then, I took him to a holistic doctor who stated that he suffers from severe allergies and we started him on acupuncture and allerplex and B 12 shots. The nose bleed is coming from the nostril that seems to be congested and have mucus, I can hear it. He also makes weird noses when he sleeps at night. His appetite is great and he energy level as well. IS there anything I can do to relieve his mucus and congestion? What do you think it might be and what should I do.

About 1.5 months ago ginger started having sneeze attacks. After about a week she started having bloody snot coming out when she sneezed. After a couple days of not getting better we took her to the vet. They put her on a amoxicillin and told us to come back if it doesn't get better. It didn't get better. The vet put her under and took a look up her snout. They couldn't find anything. Blood work and everything came back fine so far (just waiting on the fungal culture to get back). They have her on Enrofloxin at the moment. Now she has started with severe nose bleeds. This morning she had a pretty good nose bleed and tonight was way more severe. Our kitchen looked like a murder scene. The vet wouldn't take her tonight and said that the ERvet wouldn't be able to do anything and to just come in for an appointment tomorrow morning. This doesn't seem right though. What could this be that our regular vet is missing. (No X-rays or MRIs have been taken yet).

Hi Dr. Turner, on Friday my dog took ccnu (5 pills all at once) to start her treatment for cancer. The next day her nose bled and then again tonight, her nose bled again. She's also taking Gabapentin, Tramadol and Prednisone. Could all these medications cause her nose to bleed? Should I stop giving her any of the above? The good thing is she can still eat, drink and use the bathroom just fine. The major thing that this tumor is causing her is limping since the tumor grew from her armpit and it spreads to her chest and spinal cord. Also, her left front leg where the tumor started is swollen. Is there anything I could do at home to help her with all the above? I've made several trips to the vet in the past 3 weeks, spent over $5,000 and I'm not sure if anything I've done is working :( Please advise. Thank you for your time.

Hi, my baby is 5yrs old (male Pomeranian) for the last two days he has been profusely bleeding from his nose. At first, vet advised us to keep him in a cooler temperature as he could be suffering from heat stroke. He prescribed us a nasal drops too. Today morning it became worse. We could see blood everywhere...ther is so much of blood bleeding from his nose. Took him to a Govt veterinary hospital. Doctors over there suggested that he may be suffering from tick fever or may be the blood vessels in his nose are ruptured. They have taken smear/blood test and the reports are yet to come. Meanwhile now he is bleeding so badly. He looks pale, lethargic and refuse to eat. Please advise

Hi
my dog 'Ecko' is a 16 yr old pointer mix
At some point and time i'm sure she inhaled a something up her nose.
one day she just started bleeding while out on a walk.
I had a bout of cockroaches and was putting out powder for them
shortly there after she started having nose bleeds
we were out on a walk and she started sneezing. i noticed blood around her snout
I took her to emergency and they didn't find anything wrong with her.
now its been a few months now and she has developed a lump between her eyes
I've slowly watched this thing get bigger and bigger
she reverse sneezes allot
her appetite is good and she still chases cat, squirrels and what have you.
i'm not sure what to do.. they want to cat scan her and stick something up her nose.
well i don't have the 4000.00 plus dollars they want for this procedure.
what are my other options... they told me her health is very good considering her age.
