Worried!

This morning there was blood on the floor like droplets. I couldnt see anything on him anywhere only a little scratch by his privates, which I think he got whilst out in the wood. But he has been playing outside and it is coming from his one nostril. Is it like a nose bleed or maybe scratched inside it. Any help ?

Can you get a torch & have a look inside his nostril?

Have you seen him scratching at himself or anything Inez, or is it annoying him at all?

I have had a look and cant see anything.

If you can't see a scratch/cut, I'd be inclined to pop him to the vets just in case he's got something caught up there, or something that might need anti-bs.

I did notice Mat last night he was stretching on the rug and he puts his paws around his mouth probably to scratch and he did give out a bit of a squeal.

I was always told that infections can cause nose bleeds in them and shouldn't be too hard to have treated

But also, I was just reading online there and as Caryll said, there is a chance he has something foreign stuck there cause the bleeding.

He is his usual self eating and running round like a loony!

I would pop along to the vet just to be on the safe side.

I would go to the vet just to be safe and have peace of mind

Yes I think I will pop him to the vets. Thanks everyone

awww poor vinnie!

If tyke had a bloody nose i would go to the vets better safe than sorry

Tank had a nose bleed by sneezing n smacking his nose of the ground. Vet checked him over - was just one of those random happenings x

Thank you that does make me feel better. I have an appointment at 5 50pm tonight so will post to let you all now how we get on.

Yeah, lexi had a nose bleed once from running into a wall, as one does. I think she maybe lost a part of her brain too.

Bless him, I'm sure he will be fine let us know XX

Just got back from vets and there is nothing up his nose checked everything else and all is ok. She seems to think he has either banged it or maybe had a seed that he has sneezed out and has left an abbrasion of some sort. Anyway she said to keep an eye on him and if it continues then she would go down the route of investigating further. But she didnt seem to be too worried Thank god!!Thanks everyone !

Great news, they can be such a worry

Great news Tilly and Tommy send ><

Thanks Tilly and Tommy and Dave. They are a worry Janey, its just he sneezes and shakes at same time and it flies everywhere which makes it seem more than it is. Glad I took him as I wouldnt have slept all night!!

That is good news, they are a worry at times aren't they >< >< ><

Glad about that, nice to know there's nothing to worry about.

Glad it wasn't anything to worry about

So happy to hear the big fella is ok. They can be quite clumsy at times, he might have bumped into something haha.

Morning everyone, Vinnie had couple of sneezes this morning and touch wood no blood! so looking better.

Glad to hear it Inez. You were doing the right thing getting it checked though

Cheers Mat, I am so glad I took him as all sorts were going through my head! Thanks again.
