My dog got under my tire and I accidentally ran him over. He's bleeding from the nose, his mouth is messed up and he's limping. When he breathe blood air bubbles come from his nose.

This is a very concerning presentation. I would recommend an immediate check up to assess his injuries properly and give immediate pain relief and appropriate treatment. X rays and antibiotics and supportive nutrition may be needed.
