[RC] Nosebleed - Judi DalyI experienced a nosebleed with my Paint one summer
that sounded much like yours. I talked to my vet, and
she said to wait until spring, and if it came back,
she recommended a vet with a scope. She said that the
racehorses that are bleeders have blood coming out in
gushes--not a few tablespoons like Mingo was
experiencing.
It went away, but I also switched him back to his
sidepull hackamore. I had susupected that he had an
allergy to metal--his lips would get puffy and look
funny. He was fine on a short ride, but it got really
bad on the long rides, and that is when his nose would
bleed.
This summer, when his sidepull broke, I bought him a
synthetic bit and use it with bit guards. His lips
aren't getting puffy, and no more nosebleeds.
