Dog- possibly something stuck in nose?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern! It’s not uncommon for our curious canine friends to get something lodged in their nose, especially after sniffing around outside. If your dog is sneezing a lot, pawing at their nose, or showing signs of discomfort like excessive nasal discharge or bleeding, these could be indicators of a foreign object.



Small things like grass seeds, foxtails, or even tiny insects can sometimes get stuck. At home, try to keep your dog calm and gently examine their snout, but be cautious—if they’re in pain, they might not enjoy the attention. Encourage them to sneeze by offering them some pepper to sniff, but always use minimal amounts.



Keep an eye out for signs of difficulty breathing, continuous bleeding, or any discharge that seems unusual, like pus. These symptoms could suggest a more serious issue, potentially an infection or internal injury, and require immediate veterinary attention.



If symptoms persist or you notice any signs of distress such as labored breathing or a decrease in energy and appetite, it’s important to seek professional advice. Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to assess the situation more thoroughly and determine the best next steps for your furry friend.
