My puppy had a collar injury. Now he has a nosebleed. ER needed?

Your puppy looks like it is in serious pain. The eye also looks involved and it is possible the other dog bit your puppy behind the eye lid, which could be a reason for the blood from the nose. It would be best to have your puppy seen by a veterinarian preferably tonight. Brandy will need an exam to verify there is no eye damage, fracture of any of the facial bones. She will need prescription antibiotics, and pain medicine. This will likely swell up seriously and may also impede her breathing if there is an injury to the respiratory tract in the head.

I'm glad Rhea was able to be freed. The stress of the episode may account for the redness in the eyes as well as the nosebleed. If the bleeding doesn't stop, have her examined by your veterinarian. Monitor her for bruising around her neck, discomfort, lameness or difficulty breathing.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I sorry to hear about such a traumatic incident for her. How scary! I do recommend that she is evaluated by a veterinarian. Strangulation injuries can be severe and have long lasting effects. This is especially true with lung damage as it can show up after the incident. She likely has broken vessels in the tissues lining her eyes due to the trauma. She may require eye medications to help them heal. I hope this information helps!

I would have Pumba seen by a vet for this. It's not good that his nose has been bleeding for 12 hours, and it could be caused by a fungal infection, injury, respiratory disease, or foreign body. It would be best if he was seen by an ER vet or a vet on call now because his nose has been bleeding for a while. The vet can diagnose what is causing the bleeding and can treat him for it.

Keep an eye on her and call your vet in the morning in case she does need to be seen. She may feel worse tomorrow because of being sore, but it's still a good idea to get her checked, especially if the other dog was larger and got a good bite in or shook her.

I would be concerned if she develops difficulty breathing which could happen if the bleeding gets worse and she develops swelling of the airway, Based on the history and appearance of the pharynx, I would be worried that Luca may have a piece of the stick lodged behind the tissues. You need to discuss x-rays and or CT or surgery to explore the area. In summary, the safest thing to do is monitor for respiratory difficulty and take her to if the nearest veterinary emergency hospital if that happens. Otherwise, follow up with your veterinarian first thing tomorrow.

It sounds like Raph has been very lucky. As long as he seems neurologically normal, there is no bleeding and his eyes focus normally without rotating strangely he should be fine. If you notice anything odd get him checked asap.
