Doggie Nosebleeds???!!!

Gayle, could they use a local anesthetic (a spray, maybe) and 'freeze' it out (or make it smaller) with a type of cryogenic probe? Is it reachable by any of those methods?

There is electric, laser and chemical cauterization (the chemical is silver nitrate, and seems to be the least favoured). Can't hurt to ask.

HUGS and I hope Sasha gets better soon. Hugs to your kitties also!

My vet has been mine for over 15 years between RB dog Sami and current Miss Sasha. His only option is total sedation for the biopsy and subsequent removal of the nasal abnormality. I trust him completely. And he agrees with my stance, she is too old to recover and too anxious to do anything but complete sedation.

Gave Sasha and the BAD kittens a hug from you, they got into the dog treats while I was out today, so BAD kittens. Just eat your raw rabbit/salmon food!!!

I was very apprehensive last May when my 14 year old dalmatian, Cassie, had to have an infected cyst removed from the side of her jowel. We thought it was a fatty tumor all that time until it burst. She felt so much better when we got it out. I totally understand where you are coming from about putting her under. Cassie did great, but I was very worried. You have to do what you think best for Sasha. Hope she feels better soon.
