Pinuki is an eight-year-old, female, spayed Bernese Mountain Dog who suffers from persistent epistaxis (nasal bleeding). She has been bleeding daily since March 3, 2011. Despite extensive diagnostic testing and procedures, the cause of the epistaxis remains unknown. Since the bleeding started, Pinuki has been desperately ill and faced the threat of death. She has had five blood transfusions, two surgeries – a ligation of her left carotid artery, and a rhinotomy - and a trans-arterial embolization (TAE). Except for the epistaxis, and the anemia (secondary to the epistaxis) Nuki is healthy in all other ways. She is a happy dog. On her webpage, you will find test results, doctors reports, and health history. Please visit her here:
