Plain-English summary
Two dogs were brought in for bleeding from their noses due to a condition called dermal arteritis, which causes inflammation of the blood vessels in that area. Typically, this condition requires long-term medication to manage, but the veterinarians tried a new surgical approach instead. Both dogs underwent surgery and achieved long-term remission, meaning they no longer had bleeding episodes and did not need ongoing medication.

Abstract
Two dogs were presented with dermal arteritis of the nasal philtrum associated with repeated episodes of bleeding. Described treatment for this condition consists of long-term, usually life-long medication with various combinations of immune suppressant and anti-inflammatory medication. This paper describes a novel surgical approach to the condition that induced long-term remission in both cases.
