My dog has dried blood in his nose. How can I safely clean it at home?

Question

Hello. My dog had a recurring nose bleed. I found out an ice pack on the bridge would stop it which I did but now he has dried up blood in his nostril co.nstricting his breathing and smell. I can't see a vet until this weekend. Is there any safe way at home to remove or alleviate at least some of it so he vsn breathe? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 60 lbs

Oh no, poor Jack! I'm glad to hear the bleeding stopped with the ice pack. You can try to gently use a warm wet washcloth to wipe away as much external discharge as possible. If Jack is a pretty tolerant dog, you can also try using a cotton swab with warm water to gently clean just inside of his nostrils. I hope that all goes well for Jack!
