4 year old healthy greyhound gets nose bleed.  Vet says there is nothing in nose. IT stopped.  hours later while eating, nose bleed started again

Hi there,

I don't want to be alarmist but depending on how well your vet was able to examine your dog's nose he *may* have missed something - there could be a foreign object like a grass seed, polyp, or even tumour (God forbid) up there and none of these particular instances would necessarily show your dog to be in obvious poor health otherwise :(

Nose bleeds while not unheard of in dogs are not particularly common either - I think I'd be back in touch with my vet asap and let them know that it's happened again.  Also if you can think of anything significant that may have caused it initially (such as a trauma) or repeated sneezing (possibly a tiny blood vessel has broken) - anything you can think of that may help reach a diagnosis plus as full a description as possible as to type (consistency and colour for eg) of blood and rough idea to quantity being lost.

Will say a prayer all's well and it is something very minor and easily resolved - please post an update when you can.  Best wishes, Teri :)

 

I don't want to alarm you, but maybe ask your vet to refer you to a specialist. I came home one day to find my dog having a nose bleed and I rushed him to the vet. I was very lucky that I had a specialist appointment booked for him as he was a little lethargic the next morning.
As it turns out, my boy had a tumour in his nose that spread to his liver, he died the next day without my intervention.
I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this trauma so PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE take him somewhere else to get checked out.
