Don't panic, loads of slight nosebleeds around a mo. Think it down to a combination of hot weather, dust and pollen.
Trust your vet, thats what you pay them for. Regular bleeds or heavy bleeds do need to be checked out.

I know easy to say, but I wouldn't worry.
My girl had quite a few nosebleeds last year but this was due to her having choked. She was scoped by the vet a few times and once everything had cleared up the bleeding stopped.
She had 2 more a couple of months ago and she was scoped again by the vet just to be on the safe side due to her problems last year.
Vet said she was fine and unless there is bleeding from both nostrils and lots of blood not to worry about it.

Nose bleeds are quite common. If its from 1 nostril its likely to be in the nasal passage and if its from 2 from the nasopharynx.
If its a one off then don't worry about it and if it persists or becomes routine after exercise you might want to get it investigated as there may be a little blood vessel that needs cauterising and that's an easy procedure.
