Trauma, tumor, infection or even clotting dysfunction can all cause a nosebleed. Ideally, Gus should be physically examined by a veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. This may require specialized diagnostics/blood tests. Gentle pressure may stop minor bleeding, but if not then a visit to the nearest veterinary ER may be needed.
