[Blackbelly] bloody nose

[o johnson]

My yearling ram was in a fight with a dog about 2
weeks ago.  I called the vet to see what I can do for
him as he has a hock that has been swollen a little
and he has been stiff on the back end for the last few
days.  He told me to give him 1 cc banamine for 3 days
to help. I gave him one tonight and about 30 min later
when I went to feed I found him bleeding from one side
of his nose.  He is in with a ewe w/a lamb, a yearling
ewe and 2 wethers.  I have never had anything like
this happen. It has been in the high 90's today and he
has been eating, drinking, etc just a bit sore from
the attack.  
Has anyone had an experience like this before.  I am
at a loss and so is the vet.  He offered to do blood
work to check his platlets but I am not putting out an
emergency fee, blood work, etc that would run about
300.00.  With economy I can not do it but this is a
really nice young ram and would like to see if I can
help him out.
Thanks.
