Bleeding from his nose

[shamelessw1966]

Plz help fast. My cat brought me a baby about 5 wks old. At first he was doing pretty good. Started him on ampicillian (per vet) yogart and esbilac. After about 4 feedings he is now bleeding from his nose. At first it was watery blood but now it seems to be getting thicker and more. At first he was wanting to eat. Now its like it hurts to open his mouth and swallow. Someone plz help fast he is going down hill fast. Weaker and more thicker blood! From shameless from alabama

Oh God....I don't think there is much you can do, keep trying to clear his nose. He most likely is bleeding out from the brain (brain injury). I'm so sorry. Did you call the vet to let them know?

do you have a vet?
where are you min Alabama...area wise?
TSB has members that may help if they are close enough...
keep him warm, not hot {head injury}...
keep him hydrated...
keep him close so he feels your heartbeat and love...
:grouphug
He may just have a bloody nose that has re erupted...he may be ok...
gently clean his nose...
You are his eyes, please give all details...:grouphug

Yes called the vet . He said hmmmmm???? Couldnt help me. I have cried and cried for the little guy. I feel like i have done something wrong. Why could he have been kinda good at first and NOW after i tried to help started bleeding? Did i do something wrong or am i doing something wrong??

Nope....now stay strong!! :grouphug Pull your chin up and listen to what Jackie just said.:Love_Icon
He may just be getting rid of the clot that stopped the bloody nose in the first place. Maybe he is acting uncomfortable while eating because he cant breathe through his nose...making it difficult to use the only other source of breathing...his mouth.
Be calm....he needs you to be right now.

Can anyone tell me what "might" cause the blood from his nose. when i keep him next to my body he seems to do alot better than when i keep him n the box in a warm room with no airconditioner.

Cardboard can dry out their noses and may be the cause. Do you have him in a cardboard box? You can make him a rice buddy. Take 1 cup of uncooked rice put it in a sock, tie the sock. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Squish the rice around so there are no hot spots. This will also add a little moisture to his enclosure. Can you get him into a little plastic container with a lot of air holes drilled into it. I will get a picture and post it, may take me a minute though.
Here you go, I stole these pictures from Squirrel Steve :D

I am so very sorry. Many times, a head injury can cause swelling in the head, and blood vessel can burst, hence why the bleeding doesn't necessarily show right away. Know you gave him warmth, comfort and security along with love. RIP sweet little angel.
