My Dog Is Bleeding From Its Nose?

[ste_iceman]

My dog is bleeding from its nose, and the blood is mucus like. He is also coughing. What could i do before i call a vet? And what has caused this?

Have you read all the threads (the two threads) posted today about dog flu and about the really bad strain of Kennel cough going around? You need to see a vet asap. Seriously.

When did this start. Does your dog go places with other dogs?
Your dog needs to see a vet asap. No matter what it is when a dog is bleeding from anything other than a cut it is not good. Call your local emergency vet. They may want to see him right away.

Yes, bring your dog to the vet IMMEDIATELY! Please post back, in another thread, telling us how your dog is doing. We wish your dog well, and send good thoughts his way.
