Is your dog bleeding from his incision also?  If so,  he may have a bleeding disorder.  

The other possibility is trauma to the nose, which could have occurred following anesthesia.  Some patients have a difficult time coming out of anesthesia and thrash around until they fully awaken.  This is something that usually cannot be prevented, since anesthesia affects all patients differently.
