There's a cow that suddenly started bleeding from the nose last night, and it's still bleeding today, both nostrils are bleeding, it's the kind of clear nasal discharge mixed with blood, but there's quite a lot of blood, and it doesn't affect feeding, what's going on. It's a cow in late lactation, the feed formula is: 6 kg of concentrate per day, sun-dried green grass free-choice, no other supplements. The cows in the same pen have no reaction at all, feeding management is as usual, experts please give some ideas, thanks!

If there are no other symptoms, it should be a ruptured capillary in the nose. You can apply cold water to the forehead. Also need to consider a brain problem

Just passing by to learn, experts please answer!!!

Cattle nosebleeds are mostly caused by dry, hot weather and excessive labor, leading to external contraction of damp-heat, lung fire rushing upward, damaging the nasal passages and causing bleeding. In addition, external blows or collisions to the nose and forehead can also cause nosebleeds. When the amount of bleeding in cattle is not large, it is mostly bleeding from one nostril, without foam, containing only a few large bubbles, no coughing, and no symptoms of difficult breathing. If there is excessive bleeding, it will cause anemia, and in severe cases affect work capacity.


How to treat a cow with a nosebleed:
 Method one: flush the nose with cold water, infuse 0.1% adrenaline into the bleeding-side nasal cavity, intramuscular injection of 40 ml of etamsylate, 40 ml of carbazochrome.
Method two: the cow should be kept quiet, and the nose and head gently washed with cold water. Soak a gauze strip in 1% alum solution or 0.1% adrenaline and pack the nostril. In severe bleeding, use 5-10 ml of 0.1% adrenaline, subcutaneous injection; or 300-500 ml of 5% calcium chloride and 10-20 ml of carbazochrome, single intravenous injection. To prevent cattle nosebleeds, management should be strengthened, the occurrence of mechanical damage to the nasal mucosa should be prevented, do not strike the cow's head, do not overwork in hot seasons, working time should not be too long, and after work the cow should be placed in a cool place with guaranteed drinking water.
