Why is my dog's nose swollen, eye red, and bleeding at home?

If the swelling or discharge return, I would definitely recommend a vet visit. If it was just something that came today and lasted for a short time, it could be an insect bite, a small trauma, or something similarly transient.

This could be due to infection, trauma or an allergic reaction. Without a physical exam, it is difficult to determine which. Do not medicate your pet without the advice of your veterinarian. Many OTC medications can be toxic to dogs. Ideally, Hudson should be seen tonight to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

Poor Punky! If her nose is swelling you could put an ice pack on it and see if that helps. You should have your vet take a look at it to determine if treatment is needed. She may need an antibiotic to prevent infection and an anti-inflammatory to help with pain and swellimg.

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.

Hi and thanks for your question this morning! Yes, it could be any of the above you mentioned. I will add to the list of possibilities: a fungal or bacterial infection. Please have Koda examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible so Koda can get the proper diagnosis, treatment, and care needed.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This actually looks pretty serious. It could be an allergic reaction of some kind, a bacterial or fungal infection, or an autoimmune disease. I really think you should take her to a vet for an exam. If it is starting in other locations on her body then then I would be very worried about this being an autoimmune disease (such as pemphigus). This is not something that you will be able to treat at home.

It sounds like Ruffo may be experiencing an allergic reaction. This could be due to something in the environment, foods, bee stings, etc, especially if it is causing facial swelling or puffiness. I would definitely schedule a visit with your vet to figure out the underlying cause and get him started on some meds such as an antihistamines to help with the swelling and itchiness. If the swelling worsens on his nose, or appears on his face, head, or neck, seeking care sooner is best as this is considered a serious condition.
