I have an 11 year old Beardie who in the last few weeks has started sneezing and discharging a bloody mucus from her nose. We have seen the vet and he said it was prob an infection gave her anti-inflammatories etc. I thought this had worked until today when she did an almighty sneeze and discharged this bloody mucus. Any help would be appreciated if anyone has experienced the same sort of thing as Im starting to worry if its more serious.

I'm sorry my answer will not help you worry less, the only dog I have come a across with these symptoms belonged to a friend of mine, and he had a tumour in his nasal cavity, I hope someone can come up with something more positive, but you need to go back to your vet.

Have to agree with Jenny Olley the only one that I knew had the same thing - get a second opinion and don't leave it go if nec have scans if they are clear all well and good but at least if there is a problem they can think about helping her earlier.

Is it from both nostrils that the bloody discharge is coming from or just one? I agree that another vet visit is needed as at some point your dog may require xrays/endoscopy just in case there is something in the nostrils, or further up causing the problem.

Hi
It is just the right nostril. she is also shaking her head and sneezing as well. I am taking her back to the vet Monday, so will let you all know how I get on. thanks for all the help with your repies.

Afraid we have not been of a lot of help, but we are all here if you need to talk at anytime - hope everything goes ok on Monday let us know
