  6. I would say that TBD (tick born diseases) are your next step. There are several that can cause nosebleeds. Another thing to check into is the condition of the canine teeth. The roots on those teeth are extremely long and if they are infected or have something wrong with them, they can definitely cause nosebleeds. My dog Joe has suffered from nosebleeds of unknown cause since March 2007. We took many of the same steps you have - rhinoscoping, blood tests, clotting tests, etc. and all came back with nothing. Along with Joe's nosebleeds, he also suffers from severe boughts of reverse sneezing and rubs at his face like it is very itchy. Sometimes the nosebleeds are a drip here and there and sometimes they are profuse, stuff horror shows are made of profuse. Joe's nosebleeds respond to antibiotics. If he is on antibiotics, his nose does not bleed. He's had one antibiotic that he built a resistancy to and that no longer works to ward off the nosebleeds, but otherwise, if he's on an antibiotic, his his symptoms disappear. This has led my vet to continue to believe it's nothing cancerous and some sort of strange unknown infection since it is so responsive to the antibiotics. Joe has been on a tiny dose of prednisone since November 11th, 2007. Since being on pred, his symptoms have disappeared. When we tried to taper down to barely no pred at all, the symptoms came back within a week. It's still a total mystery to us what causes them - we've done the dehumidifer, he's had his canine teeth removed (they practically fell out of his head during the dental and we were so sure that was the cause and the bleeding started again a month later), he's been given every blood test on the face of the earth, we've tried about 7 different drugs, and all I know is that pred works for us, he's still with us 20 months later, and he acts and seems like a very happy, healthy hound. Sorry I have no answers, but I thought I would share our experience anyway.
