What do you do when you have a bloody nose?

Answer 1

You stop it. Simple. There are many ways to stop it. If you have lots of paper (napkins, toilet paper, tissues), you should blow your nose first to get the blood out. Then, you can lean backwords and pinch your nose in between your eyes, but some say that that makes the blood go to your throat. You can also lean forward and pinch your nose hard so it hurts to try to stop it, or pinch your nose at the bottom, or pinch it lightly. Pinch for a short while and check the blood. Then, when the blood is gone, put vaseline in your nose.

Answer 2

When you see that your gerbil may have what looks like a bloody nose, it is actually mucous. Gerbil's mucous is red, like the color of blood. There are plenty of reasons why. For instance, if you are using cedar or pine bedding, you will want to switch to a different material, such as CareFresh. Since the pine and cedar wood chips let off fumes that are harmful to your gerbil, it may cause a little cold, or another infection such as a respiratory infection, which causes your gerbil's nose to run. You need to switch the bedding as soon as possible, as it is not healthy for your gerbil's nose to be running. That is the main thing you should be doing you should be doing as of now, if you still notice a runny nose, call a local vet that specializes in small exotic pets, and he will likely give you a diagnosis.
