Cracked bleeding nose

Rating: 9

First off thank you for offering this service.
Pepper has a very dry cracked nose that is bleeding a couple times a day for the last week I am unable to get him to the vet at this moment but intend to ASAP. He was given medication last summer at a emergency hospital for the same condition they seemed to think by the looks of it was a auto immune disease the meds cured him for awhile but never cured the dryness of his nose which I was told to put KY jelly on to keep moist the last 2 weeks his nose has been terrible it bleeds and is sore and cracked he is contantly licking it which makes it worse I have him on 3 benedryl every 5 to 6 hours ( 100lb dog) it helps with the dripping I have used styptic powder to control the bleeding is there anything I can do to stop the bleeding?
I stopped putting the KY on because it seems to make it worse it seems better when it is drier. I am going to include a picture if it might help. I want to get him to a vet but I dont have money at this time till the end of next week.

    Ouch! I know how he feels, I wash my hands at least 100 times a day and during the winter time it gets so bad it hurts.

    to stop the bleeding,hummmm I have heard people have tried flower. I'm more concerned about stopping the dry cracking aspect than the bleeding. plain A & D ointment..but the trick is to keep him from licking it off before it gets the chance to help,and rubbing it on the nose real good, some people have tried vitamin A liquid on the nose. also some thing you can get at www.EntirelyPets.com is panalog I'm not sure if you need a prescription or not for panalog but I love the stuff, it does a good job. 

    Thanks & I hope I helped you  

     Regards, Barry
