Dog rusty has running nose with blood

Posted By Lorelie (Lake Geneva, WI) on 06/18/2008

My dog Rusty, first suffered with bloody noses, which has recently turned to more of a runny nose with slight tinges of blood, now has just developed swelling up her left nostril. I've given Rusty 2 bouts of antibiotics from the vet and afterward sprayed Silver up her nostrils. The Silver seemed to reduce the bleeding. Could you explain to me what it all might be about and what I can do?

Hi. I have had dogs my whole life, trained and shown them, please make sure you are not feeding your dog in a plastic bowl. They should always use glass or steel. They rub their noses against it, and the dragging will really irritate it. I used vitamin E... By poking a pinhole in it, and rubbing it on a rescue dogs nose a couple of times a day. That cleared it right up, and it has never come back since. Good luck!
