Yeti may have a nasal parasite (Oestrus ovis L.), or fungal infection in his upper airways. There are also other diseases that can cause bleeding from the nose, heat stroke, mechanical trauma (sand irritation), injury, ulcers, bacterial and viral infections. Your daughter's veterinarian will be very familiar with the type of problem in his area.
