No More Sad, Crusty Nose – Canine Nosebleeds

Remember, my sad bloody Valentine? We’re happy to report that Lilly’s nose now looks like this:

Look! No blood. And, the texture, temperature, and moisture level is much better too.

Lilly still snores and snorts at times like her nose isn’t 100%, but it looks and feels so much better.

For so long, when she was oh-so sick, her nose was:

  • Hot
  • Dry
  • Crusty
  • Bloody
  • Congested

We still sometimes put a little chapstick on it, but we think it has healed nicely.

Quite an improvement from this:

If you are new to our scary story of a rabies vaccine gone horribly wrong, feel free to use the blog post category pull-down menu in the sidebar or this Adverse Vaccine Reaction category link to access all the posts we’ve published since Lilly got very, very sick with meningoencephalomyelitis (inflammation of the brain and lining of the brain and spinal cord) after an adverse reaction to a rabies vaccine given January 23, 2012.
