Running Sat. the temp was 75. My 5.5 female collasped in front of me , She started to stiffen like a seizure (had a male that used to have them).
Took off her collar and poured water around her neck and belly, inside her ears while my buddy fanned her with my hat. She came out of it in a couple minutes.
The question is she had a trickle of blood out of her nose. I just knew she was going to die,but she pulled through like I said pretty fast. Put her in the box she scratched out her spot saw some more blood come out of her nose. So What is this do you think this was ?

my male dog had a heat stroke exactly the way you described your dogs symptoms, except for the bloody nose. I took my dog to the vet and they said he would never be the same and he hasn't been. One thought comes to mind when you describe the bloody nose is possible heartworm may want to take the dog to the vet.

Only a vet can determine what might have happened..They can run the proper tests to figure out the problem and may also be able to figure out a course of action by way of treatment if there is a serious problem.

Good Luck....
