Hi All,
My rat Flynn has had a few instances where he would bleed from his nostril after sneezing excessively. He was put on antibiotics, and it went away. This happened a couple of times over the course of a few months. We were bloody nose free for about three months, and it started happening again last night. It was still bloody as of this morning, so I gave him some Yunnan Baiyao and put him near a humidifier and it has seemed to calm it down. It always happens with a ton of sneezing, so I am wondering if it is a broken blood vessel. When it does happen, he becomes lethargic (I think from being exhausted from sneezing). I feel like if it were a tumor in there, it would be more constant, and would have progressed by now since it has been probably 5 months since it first happened. I have a vet appointment set up, so any advice or wisdom in the meantime would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much!
