- Dog nasal tumors are extremely fragile and frequently bleed. But why? Oncologist Brooke Britton explains.
Nosebleeds are often the first thing a dog lover notices when their dog has a nasal tumor, and this horrifying symptom can continue even after treatment is started. Caller Holly wants to know why nosebleeds occur - is it the growth of the tumor causing destruction, or the tumor itself bleeding?
Veterinary oncologist Brooke Britton answers Holly’s question, and also explains how nosebleeds can be addressed. Unfortunately, sticking some tissues up your dog’s nose is NOT a good idea, and severe bleeds require a vet visit. But treating the cancer will help, and you might also be able to use the herbal supplement Yunnan Baiyao.

Did your dog with a nasal tumor have nose bleeds?
It’s been a year since my 14 half year old staffy passed. He was diagnosed with nasal cancer 7months before he passed. It started off as a sudden onset of violent sneezing and then continuous discharge which started as serous and then mucupurolent as the cancer progressed. He occasionally had mild reverse sneezes from time to time and twice sneezed out bits of the tumour. He never had any nose bleeds but a few times noticed specs of blood. The prognosis is much better for those who have discharge without blood. 7months with no treatment my staffy lived… they do anything to hide the pain and suffering to keep you happy… miss him loads 😢
Poor baby boy. We are so sad to hear of your loss.
Thanks for sharing, I’m going though it now with my 4 yr old Boxer. We’re Going through as you describe, but my dog has had blood but mostly just thick mucus. Did you have a CT Scan & rhinoscopy ? Ty
@@FrankieBoy71taking into account his age we chose not to due to the unfavourable prognosis, the invasivity of the procedure, the costs involved for the procedure and follow up treatments (radiotherapy/chemotherapy). The vets confidently assumed it was cancer due to no response to antibiotics and then steroids as a last chance option. We opted for palliative care such as painkillers and nasal congestion remedies. He was perfectly fine during the stages; no change in behaviour and continued to stick to his daily routine… then overnight he became very weak and pale 😔 couldn’t move and did not eat for three days and so we made the decision for in home euthanasia. I would recommend you go ahead with these procedures to find a correct diagnosis as your dog, due to his age, may possibly not have cancer. I hope all goes well for you and your dog 🙏
My Oncologist Vet recommended the Chinese herb Yunnan Baiyao Jiaonang and chemo. The herb stopped the bleeding. The treatment has given me more time with my senior dog. TY for your video. I've been trying to find out more information on the subject.
Thank you. This is exactly what we are going through right now.
Thanks. My 12 year old Jack Russell has a suspected nasal tumour and has a dripping blood nose once a week. 6 mths later still happy and playing all day.
Thanks. Cant seem to get the buldge down near her left eye. Really sux that i cant make it go away.
It all depends on how aggressive the tumour is and how much it has developed.
My vet said to use Yunnan baiyao. I had to special order it online but it will help alot.
Hi, can you share where you ordered it? I’m at a loss because everyone says to get Yunnan Baiyao but no one says where
@@LovelornLoveThorns the company is best natural pets. You can find them online. They are out of lake Kiowa TX.
My cat has a nose tumor non cancerous but it bleeds sometimes
My dog was prescribed yunan Baio after his biopsy. I have it on hand but am not using it right now as it's more or less small amounts of blood coming from his left nostril.
Hi! For tumors that bleed continuously, many holistic vets like to use it proactively to keep that coagulant support going. Check with your veterinarian -- it might help to reduce that blood even more!
My dog is 13' and has a sudden nose bleed last night and one tonight. Has a history last 3 years really dry nose on outside. I'm going to call veterinarian in morning to ask what I should do. I am worried and hope that it's nothing cancerous or deadly. She has a small cyst on tongue but no dental issues that are aware of.
We are pulling for your girl, and are so happy you are taking this seriously
