Not even remotely.The nose, or snout, of a platypus is called a "bill". This is broad, flat, and made out of leathery skin, not bone or cartilage. It serves a very unique function.
The platypus uses its bill to find food. It closes its eyes when underwater, and uses its bill to detect movements. Equipped with electroreceptors, the sensitive bill can sense electrical impulses, even the tiniest of movements made by underwater crustaceans.
The bill is also used to shovel up the soil on the bottom of the river or creek in order to find the food. Once found, the platypus uses grinding plates in its bill, rather than teeth, to crush the food before eating it.

You were playfighting with your dog and the dog had a nose bleed?
Trauma is normally the usual cause of dog nose bleeds or you could have just knocked a vessel in his nose, much like why humans have nose bleeds. Either way, I would advise you to be more careful with your dog from now on. If it happens again or any other worrying symptoms appear, go see a vet, it could be more serious if nose bleeds or other abnormal bleeding happen often. Another reason for nose bleeds can be Aspirin, so if you give your dog anything like this, I'd suggest stopping.
