Nasal Discharge in Dogs

My dog has experienced clear (and sometimes not clear) mucosal, gelatinous-consistency nasal discharges. She also spends a lot a of time clearing her throat trying to get it out. The same way we do when we have a nasal drip on the back of our throats. We took her to the vet and he prescribed her antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. It helped a bit, but not much and has not gone away. It's been 18 months and the vet has not found anything in her blood work. What are your thoughts regarding over the counter antihistamines for her?

I have a 5 month old husky lab. She had her Bortadella vaccine through the nose 4 days ago. Today I noticed yellow mucus from that same nostril. Shes acting normal, appetite normal. I have obly heard her reverse sneeze maybe 2 times a day since the vaccine. I havent noticed her cough at all. Could it be the vaccine that irritated her nose or an infection? Thanks.

Good day. Im Cricelle i have a pet dog, named Dalgomie. He is very special to us. But one of these days he became sick. He lost his appetite. He cant stand or walk. I know his sick but i dont know what is it. He also have a green liquid on his both nostrils and also in his eyes. What sick he have? Please help me. Thank you.

My dog Buddy a 14 year old boarder border collie with diabetes has been sniffing for the last two weeks. I have taken him to the vet 3 times already. His one nostril is closed and eye on the same side.He is on antibiotics and they looked like they were working but then I noticed his nose closed again and his eyes had puss in them. I called the vet and he changed the medication and told me to continue. So I followed his view because he has been my vet for 3 dog and I trust him. A few days later I look at buddy and his 2nd eye lids are up. I rushed him back down and now he is on 3 different antibiotics. Eye drops and two different pill types. He is eating,Drinking and going to the bathroom. I'm asking on here just incase anyone has an idea of what is going on.

My 11 year old Rat terrier has been to the vet several times already and the problem as not been resolved. He started coughing and has yellow/greenish discharge along with white discharge in his eyes.Hes been a health dog up until now and this just came on suddenly. The vet suspected heart failure because he had fluid on his lungs and it appeared his heart was enlarged. He was put on antibiotics/lasix and heart meds. He improved for about 4 days and by the 5th day started getting down again with major discharge/coughing/dehydrated and no appetite at all. he sleeps most of the day and I have to force him to drink pedialyte to keep him hydrated. Im at a lose as to what to do,He has all the symptoms of the canine flu, could that be what he has?

My dog keeps having orange discharge from his right nostril. I've been away from home for school so I haven't gotten to take a look at him until now. Apparently he's been having some discharge since end of November. He was taken to the vet and given allergy meds, but they didn't seem to help much. He's eating normally but a lot less active than usual. Sometimes it sounds like he's trying to blow his nose. I tried to use some steam from hot water to help him breathe, but not sure if that helped either.

Dog is being treated for respiratory infection and has been on antibiotics for 1 week. He has 1 week left to the treatment, however the nasal mucus/discharge has gotten worse. Is this a sign that the infection is getting better and the mucus is just leave his lungs?

My mixed breek Australian Shepherd has IMPA but is managed with small doses of Prednisone and Azathioprine. Since last November she has had a very wet fluid like sound in her lungs and she coughs through the phlegm and almost purrs sometimes as she lays down and it builds up. She will occasionally cough out a very thick but very clear clump of the mucus. She has always beena sneezy dog but we cannot determine where this is coming from. We have tried antibiotics which seem to help but it doesn't go away completely. Her activity level and demeanor is good/average to mildly lethargic.

My dog has experienced (clear) mucosal, gelatinous-consistency nasal discharges for more than two years. We had surgery performed on her nasal passages about 18 months ago. The problem went away for a short time following surgery but, over the past year, has returned and now is as bad as ever. She will paw at her nose on rare occasions but we have not noticed any other symptoms.

My dog has a thick green nasel discharge, he hasn’t lost his appetite and is still interested in playing. He had a slight cough as if he was clearing his throat, which has now gone and the runny nose has now started.

My senior pup has had a horrible cough for a few days. It got better and now he is sneezing a lot. It started with clear mucus but now it seems a little pink. I'm worried it is blood. What can this be? He is eating normal, just hasn't wanted to play much.

My puppy just got shot and fixed about 10 days ago.... About 4 days now he has been sneezing and blowing out snot out his nose. Ive been letting him go outside a little. Could this be a cold or allergies ?What can I give him?

My GSD, Jazzy, has a clear, watery discharge from both nostrils; no blood, no fever, no eye discharge, occ sneezing, some snorting (reverse sneezing maybe?), mouth breathing. No distortion of her nose or muzzle, no pawing at her nose. I was able to hear mucus moving around in her nose/sinuses? when she breathed - that seemed to stop/let up for two days - now it's back as bad as when it started. This started sudden onset one month ago - it hasn't gotten worse than the first day it started, but varies in intensity - seems to get better than back to being 'worse'. Jazzy is my constant companion so I'm very aware of onset/symptoms. We live on a farm - foxes, rabbits, skunks, voles, mice around. No difference in appetite, drinking, urinating, bowel movements. I've cut back on our walks due to this, but otherwise she seems 'normal'. I've been using a humidifier at night for her - but the sound of mucus moving in nose is back, so doesn't seem to be helping. She's very itchy also - found now red tumors/spots, no fleas, no hot spots - nothing. Just scratches a lot - seems to go along with the nose, but might be dry skin. thank you

Hi Wag Walking, my dog appears to have been sick for quite some time. Starting last November, my dog started to have what seemed to be a stuffed up nose. It was very mild and it would just cause some sneezing at times. After a month or two, it progressed to sneezing, a runny nose, and a hacking cough. We took him to the vet and they did X-Rays and tests but did not find anything for sure so they put him on a round of antibiotics. When that did not work he was put on a second round. Neither did any good. There was awhile around the end of March where he appeared to be getting better, but it has progressed again and now it is a constant snotty nose and troubled breathing. Along with that, the hacking cough is starting to come back as he is trying to avoid breathing with his nose. Please help!!!

My 4 month old miniature doodle has thick yellowish discharge coming out of one nostril, will not eat and doesn't have her normal energy. What can I do? .........................................................................................

Our 4m hound mix rescue has a runny nose with cloudy mucous. We brought him home one week ago. I noticed his blanket has cloud stains all over. Just sitting in the family room, I see he has a runny nose with cloudy/milky colored drainage. Could this be as simple as a cold. Concerned because we have two other babies (dogs) in the house.
—He is mild tempered, and eats well. Doesn’t appear to be feverish. Solid stools, urinates as normal.

My dog has this nasal discharge for how many days now with blood in one side of his nose. Then he loss some appetite. And puffy red eyes. And also difficult in breathing sometimes. The only medical intervention I've tried is puting icepack near his nose bridge and giving him dextrose mixed with water.

Lauren has Arthritis, recently diagnosed early stage Kidney disease & middle stage Dementia, Cataracts also recently diagnosed, & hyperthyroidism all these symptoms developed in very short space of time. We have tried to keep a good routine for Lauren with gentle simulated activities & she seems to be coping well, but over the last few weeks she is unhappy about going out front door for walks or to go in the car etc, she’s happier in the back garden, but over the last couple of days she has developed green mucus from one nostril & been sneezing more green mucus since last night. Lauren is too senior with the above mentioned health problems to go through evasive procedures with potential anaesthetic, but our vet (understandably) will NOT treat or diagnose without doing further tests. We are in a dilemma as tests could severely stress her (as any changes does) due to dementia, or she could pass away during any procedures etc. We love our girl with all our heart & soul, but feel that we are letting her down. Her diet is slow & iffy because of the dementia so unable to say whether this green discharge is affecting her eating. Would appreciate any advice please even if it’s reassurance. Thank you warmest regards Beth & Lauren. X

my dog has kind of a white crust around one of his nostrils, what does this usually mean?
hes been on some medication for a cough a few weeks ago that has now stopped. i stopped the medication and seen the vets right away when he started peeing in the house and having diearea.
hes still hungry as can be but his regular food he has refused it even top dressed with wet food.
hes going to the vets tomorrow but ide like a rough idea what of it could be?

his eye are a little red and the vet prescribed me reactine. i have only given him half a tablet and not near as much as the vets prescribed. they have given him prednisone reactine and benelin dry cough.

My dog went in for a hair ball in her stomach/intestines surgery last Monday, when I saw her 1/2 hour after surgery she had blood coming out or around her nose. Vet said it was probably some spit up or splash from surgery. Well I picked up my dog on Thursday and she seems like she has a cold (really bad at night breathing) and there is bloody discharge since thursday though today (Monday) They put her on antibiotics and did a chest xray but it is not getting better. I'm so upset as they are saying she was congested when I brought her in and acting like they didn't see blood water coming out of her all this time! She has no other symptoms considering her stomach has stiches going all the way down (she is jumping, eating etc) However, Its worst at night she breaths fast and snores and sneezes. Help!

My dog is 13 yrs old. She has had her nose removed from squamous cell carcinoma.it started 1 yr ago and had it removed 8months ago. she also has Cushing's disease .vet suspected that cancer came back month ago. we started to try RSO.So far so good but she has very watery clear/milky discharge. she took antibiotics for it and no change. also she try's to clear throat like we would if we had nasal drip. She also has greenish discharge from her eye's and off and on eating and drinking. Don't think its uper respiratory infection/ and discharge only only happens after we administer the RSO Rick Simpson Oil ( Cannabis oil)then as oil wears off the drainage decreases. We are unable to get any tests to see if the cancer has returned there is no symptoms like bloody discharge or sneezing or pawing at face. We cant take to vet cause cant afforded it after 10 grand in surgery and medications.
