It is possible that that a badly infected tooth may have formed a pocket of infection which has eroded through into the nasal cavity and so produce a nose bleed, I have known this happen. On the other hand cancer of the nasal cavity is a common cancer in older dogs and an initial symptom is frequently a nose bleed. I think that guessing is no good in this situation and you will have to precisely diagnose the condition if it appears to be ongoing. I personally think the best way forward would be to have an x-ray of your dog's nasal cavity. This would be done under anaesthesia so that will give your vet a chance to resolve the tooth issue if that proves to be the source of your dog's problems. If I have not covered your question fully enough or you would like to ask more please get back in touch. Scott Nimmo BVMS MRCVS Hello Anne, thanks for dropping by …

She is in the middle of a significant one this evening. While my husband is trying to keep her calm and applying ice to the bridge of her nose, I am looking for answers. We took her to the vet 2 weeks ago for breathing difficulty (no bleeds at that time), and was told it was allergies. He prescribed clemestine and also noted an infected tooth, but he also said it wasn't a big deal and we could take care of it later. Last Tuesday she had her first nose bleed... it was pretty scary. The vet now says that the nosebleed is probably due to the tooth. I had to urge him to prescribe an antibiotic for her, which he did last week, along with a steroid as her breathing is getting worse. Could the tooth be causing all of these issues all of a sudden? Or due to her age, are we more likely looking at a nasal cancer? Thank you in advance.
