mychip1 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi All, When JJ woke up from his nap, his normal nose drip had a slight bloody tint. It was still more watery than blood, and it was just one drop. With the horses, we usually see this after a big sneeze, and don't worry too much. JJ has had low platelets before, but his gums look fine and it was only one drop. I have had the wood stove burning in the house for three days straight - and I can smell that wood burning smell throughout the house - so I'm sure, despite having the steam pot on top, the house is a bit dry. Do you all think that it could be from the dryness? Dustin has had a few sleepers in his eyes - and I've attributed that to the dryness as well.

Guest greybookends Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I would think it's the dryness but would probably keep an eye on him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grey_dreams Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Could be a mix of the dry air, the extreme cold temperatures outside, and the smoke. Still, would keep an eye on him, and if it happened again or got worse, might think about a vet visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Check him carefully for bruising/petechia. No rodenticide around??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychip1 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 No bruising. No, I don't use any of that. His gums are pink and healthy. No red pin prick look.

tbhounds Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Check his sclera too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BiancasMom Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 With his history, I would go have a CBC run just to be safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychip1 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 White on the sclera. The complexity of a CBC with him is a false low. He has platelets that clot very rapidly....so machine counts aren't accurate.....I have a vet who does just his blood work for me with hand counts... He seems ok....and the house smells a lot less smokey right now....I filled the steam pot way up on the fireplace.

tbhounds Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It could be from an unknown trauma-maybe he banged his nose?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychip1 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Maybe....he is a bouncy bundle of joy!
