Abstract
Disorders of the nose and associated structures often present with similar signs. Epistaxis, sneezing and nasal discharge are three of the most common and consistent signs associated with nasal disease, and all three signs are often present in one condition. This chapter will outline a simple initial approach for a dog presenting with these signs and also how to investigate the more complicated or recurrent case. This chapter deals with emergency treatment of epistaxis, initial approach to nasal disease and common conditions and presentations.

Intraoperative view of nasal polyp removal. This polyp was responsible for a chronic bilateral mucoid nasal discharge that was partially responsive to NSAID therapy. The polyp was identified on palpation of the soft palate (firm object palpated through the soft palate), and retrograde rhinoscopy whilst the dog was anaesthetized.
