My three year old beagle has developed a bump on the end of his nose just above the nostrils I noticed it was bleeding a little the last time I had him out. Might be a Thorn in there. Any Ideas on best way to treat it.

Usually they will work out by them selfs. Could have already worked out if it was broke open. I have had a problem with a few dogs getting absess on top of there heads from tree thorns, I think because it starts to heal over before it can work out, and therefore getting infected. If yours turns into a absess then you can pop it and clean it with peroxide, and then give your dog some cephalexin 250mg or something similar. Hope I helped, and good luck!
