Clinical Features of Epistaxis in Dogs: A Retrospective Study of 35 Cases (1999–2002)

From the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (Strasser) and Department of Clinical Sciences (Hawkins), College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27606.

Address all correspondence to Dr. Hawkins.

Epistaxis was retrospectively evaluated in 35 dogs. Systemic disease was diagnosed in seven dogs and intranasal disease in 29. Nineteen dogs with intranasal disease had neoplasia. Dogs with neoplasia were older (mean 10.0 years) than dogs with nonneoplastic intranasal disease (mean 5.6 years). Signs persisting for >1 month occurred more often in dogs with intranasal than systemic disease. Unilateral epistaxis did not distinguish intranasal from systemic disease. Only dogs with intranasal disease had facial deformity, decreased airflow, or regional sub-mandibular lymphadenopathy. Dogs with systemic disease had a lower packed cell volume (mean 31.8%) than dogs with intranasal disease (mean 42.7%).
