Did you know that a cow can have a nosebleed? If you notice your cow’s nose is bleeding or it looks like he has had a nosebleed recently then call your vet. The medical term for a nosebleed is epistaxis not to be confused with hemoptysis, which is coughing up blood. Nosebleeds in cows can be a common occurrence. When you first note the nosebleed, try to examine your cow to find out if he has had any trauma to his head or nose area. You should also examine his nostrils to find out if blood is coming from one nostril or both. Giving your vet a quick rundown of the above information can help in diagnosing and treating the nosebleed. Nosebleeds in cows can occur for many reasons including from nose bots, dehorning, foreign body in the airway, trauma or abscess, sinus infection, snake bite, acorn poisoning, etc. Learn more from your professional veterinarians Wichita KS.
