I have seen a new topic on another site about a 10 year GSD who recently started having nose bleeds. So far he has had an endoscopy, MRI, and biopsy done.
There was no sign of a tumor, fungal infection or foreign body, they still awaiting biopsy result done 1 week ago so should have something today. He is still having nose bleeds.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
He is a very special dog and owners are extremely worried.

He's not a narcotics detection dog, is he?

NO Don, I should have added that he is not a drug detection dog.
Why didn't I see that coming??????

Wayfaring should be wayfarin. I cannot edit own my iPad, which likes to spell things it's own way!

You could get him tested for hemophilia...

Hmmm...that is strange. Another post goes missing with no explanation? Worse, the one left behind makes absolutely NO sense now without my initial post. I will attempt again.
Nose bleeds in dogs is not like humans from cold weather or allergies. It is an indication of some disease process, such as a clotting disorder. Von willebrands is a possibility.
I am guessing, based on the OP post that blood work, including a PT and PTT was performed to checking for clotting time.
Another possibility, to rule out is potential ingestion of some form of wayfarrin, which is the ingredient found in mouse or rat poison.
If something is wrong with this post, please let me know prior to deletion.
Thanks.

Has the dog been checked for tick-borned diseases, specifically ehrlichiosis?
Edited to add:
Davren, I believe you're referring to warfarin, an anti-coagulent found in some rodenticides.
von Willebrand's and hemophilia A aren't impossible, but would be unlikely to not have caused any symptoms previously in the dog's 10 years. Primary non-traumatic cause of nosebleeds in senior dogs is neoplasia, so the outstanding biopsy may provide a definitive diagnosis.

Why would good on topic posts like Davren's be deleted? I had read this post earlier then her reply was gone. Can the mod offer an explanation, please?

Jim,
I noticed the same thing. It makes the thread almost nonsensical.
I am going to post on the Oli thread a suggestion that the threads be numbered so we would at least be aware that something got deleted.
Also, if there is a "bad word" in a post, replacing the "bad word" with asterisks or something else would do.
