Other than the UTI, it all sounds really good. I agree, poor guy, nothing feels good about a UTI. :( Hopefully he'll get over it really quickly. I'm sure his MRI will be awesome too. :) Maybe it just was a scratch up there? Or could he have sniffed in something that caused an irritation, which might have been a sore and scabbed? So many possibilities and most of them are not anything serious, so we'll just go with that. :)
Good luck!

Hi there, pleased to hear the nose bleeds settled. UTIs are a curse aren't they, poor Doc. Fingers crossed for a good report on the MRI, will be great to hear that tumour has shrunk away! :)
Well, the nosebleed is back. He had one last night, worse than the previous ones, but still not a "gusher". Basically about a 1/2 Tbsp. on the carpet. He was licking and licking and licking last night (overnight) and I thought he was licking a hotspot on his feet (he does that sometimes). Well, now I know it was the blood on his nose. I feel so bad for him with it. And I feel awful for not getting up to check. So far today no blood. He also won't take his tramadol (for pain for his arthritis) with food (I had it compounded into a liquid). So, now I have to squirt down his throat. He HATES it. I hate having to do it, but he seems to do so much better a couple of hours later. Sigh.
Oh drat. I'm sorry the nose bleed is back. :( Well, at least it won't be long now till you can have it checked out and maybe find out what is going on for sure. Hopefully just something simple to clear up.

I know that must be a little scary. I have never had a dog with a nose bleed except once. Boriss got head butted by our other dog on an accident & his nose bleed like a faucet. very scary... I just did what you do with humans & held the cold rag over it.
I know you are ready to get some answers.
Praying you get answers soon!
HI Guys,
Just wanted to check in and let you all know that....WE SHRUNK THE TUMOR!!!!! :D:D:D:D
It is about 20% smaller in diameter and is much less dense. UF is really positive about it continuing to shrink and said that a victory for them was to retard the growth, but the shrinkage is a real win for us. So, we got Doc a "I kicked my brain tumor's ass" dragon toy. Haha.
As far as the nosebleeds, they have no answers. The catscan showed nothing, bloodtests normal, so we are treating for allergies with anti-histamine. He hasn't had one sense.
Just wanted to share the good news with everyone.
Oh MY!!! This is GREAT news!!! So very happy for you both! YAAA!!!
That is the BEST news ever!!!! Congratulations! Way to go Doc. Allergies, well, there you go. They can sure do a number on humans and pets.
Yay!!! Hugs,

Awesome news! Thanks for letting us know.
