My dog's nose bleeds, and sneezing makes it start again. What's wrong?

Question

my dog is bleeding heavily through only the left side of the nose and after an hour or two the bleeding stopped but then he sneezed and the bleeding started again , whenever he sneezes the bleeding increases and he is sneezing frequently and what tests should it go through ...please help me out ....i am really not able to detect that is it some kind of tick fever or is it a foxtail or a foreign particle into the nasal passage ?

Lexus really needs to go see a vet as soon as possible. A long term nose bleed is a medical emergency. My main concerns would be exposure to toxin that might affect his ability to clot his blood. This could be rat poison or another toxin. However a foreign object up his nose, trauma and infection can cause bleeding too. He needs to have blood work to detect if he is clotting his blood and make sure his platelet number is normal. If he will let you apply pressure to his nose and maybe even ice to the bride of the nose to slow the bleeding until you get him into a vet.
