Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Ellie. It could be she injured her nose causing the bleeding, has a foreign body in her nasal passage, may have an upper respiratory infection, or could have gotten into something toxic. Keep a close eye on her, and if this bleeding continues over the next 15-20 minutes, have her seen by a vet right away. I hope this helps!

It could be Chai has an infection on her nose if there is pus. Given that it's been there for a month, this really should be seen by a vet asap to get it diagnosed and treated. I would take her into a vet today. She is beautiful!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! it is not possible for us to diagnose exactly what is going on just based on this description though this may be due to an abscess or infection for example in which case antibiotics would be indicated. This may also be a traumatic injury. I would highly recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to diagnose it so that therapy can be started. Best of luck!
