How to stop bleeding from one side of the dog’s nose If your dog has a persistent nosebleed, owners should not easily ignore it and try to calm the dog down first. Some external stimuli may raise your dog’s blood pressure, which can cause him to bleed more nosebleeds. If the dog doesn’t resist, you can put a wet wipe or ice pack on the dog’s nose. However, for pugs and bulldogs, which have short nasal passages, owners should be careful not to let the wet wipes or ice packs cover the dog’s nostrils to prevent them from having difficulty breathing. The cold temperature of the wet wipes and ice pack can constrict the blood vessels in the dog’s nasal cavity and slow down the speed of the nosebleed. After stopping the bleeding, it is best for the owner to take the dog to the vet immediately for a diagnosis to understand the cause of the nosebleed and prescribe the right medication. Owners can start by thinking about whether their dog has suffered any previous trauma or illness and whether it has recently taken any medications and compile them for the vet, which will allow them to screen for the cause.
