What is this tissue coming out of my dog's nose? Vet is stumped.

Question

There is tissue coming out of my babes nose. It sometimes retracts back into his nose. Today it is sticking out of his nose more than normal. I need help on figuring out what this is. The local vet has no idea as to what it may be. If he sneezes to much it will start to bleed, he does have a bit of trouble breathing through that nostril when it is sticking out. I am not sure what it is, but I just want to help him feel better. Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Male | neutered | 8 years and 7 months old | 80 lbs

Oh my! Poor baby. I had another case similar to this and I took a piece of the tissue and sent it in for biopsy and also a bacterial and fungal culture. I would talk to your vet about doing this. I think this is the first step. You can also look up the herb yunnan bai Yao and talk to your vet about this to help control the bleeding. If it is a tumor, there isn’t much you can do about it unless you want to go see a specialist. A specialist could potentially remove it to help him feel better. Surgically removing it may not be curative. I hope this helps o guide you in his treatment.
