My puppy had parvo, now has bloody nose. Is it a sinus infection?

Question

My puppy was diagnosed with parvo last Monday. He was injected at the vet and treated here at home with prescribed medication. Currently, his stool is back to normal, his vomiting stopped, and he is eating and drinking again. I noticed he has some mucus in his nose with a little blood. Could this be a sign of sinus infection? He’s taking antibiotic for parvo, should I take him back to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 12 days old | 30 lbs

This isn't typical to see after a parvoviral infection, so it is possible that he has developed an unrelated upper respiratory infection. Another possibility could be that he regurgitated at some point and now has sinusitis. Regardless I would recommend seeing your vet so they can help determine the cause. Depending on the type of antibiotics he has been taking he may or may not need additional antibiotics.
