Oh my word...

Id get him inside, get a good look, you should know from looking how bad. He will probs need painrelief and antibiotics.

I had Toffee, whos nose had been injured, they cant do much to the nose itself, but treated him just incase of infection etc
 
Had him inside and the bleeding has stopped,the out of hours vet was:censored::censored:.If he looks no better in 15 mins i will ring them back.
 
Is his nose cut? With Toffee, (this is going to be hard to explain) where the nose sits (e.g. attached to face) it had been cut away from face, if that makes any sense what so ever
 
It looks like he has spit the line bit of his nose if you know what i mean.Just been to see him and he ran away from me and is still breathing through his mouth.
 
Good god what a bloody useless Vet............:shock: :evil:

Can you see if he has an injury or if the bleeding is from inside his nasal passages ?

He def needs to be indoors and I'd pop him on a heatpad. I know a bit of blood can look a lot but if he has lost a significant amount he is at risk of going into shock.

Sending millions of vibes for him......and you !!

ETA- We posted at the same time. Do try to get him indoors. His nose may be blocked with blood hence the mouth-breathing.
Try and get him into a Pet carrier and allow him to calm down. But do get him near to a source of heat ASAP.

Then phone the Vet back and demand that he/she fulfils his/her duty of care to one of his/her clients

That sounds awful. If he is mouth breathing I would ring another vet asap for advice. I would be worried if he was having difficulty breathing through his nose. I hope he is ok.
