Nasal Discharge in Dogs

Jake, our 3 year old 90lbs GSD has been having clear discharge from his nose, along with fast breathing, mouth breathing both while at rest, and he scratches at his nose often. Took him to the vet about this once and the vet didn’t do more than listen to his lungs. He seems like he iis short of breath often. It seems like he will sit up sometimes to catch his breath. Keep in mind this will be hours after exercise has occurred. Looking for advice on if I should be taking him to a new vet or if I’m an over worried dog parent. Thanks

We moved within the past month, and our dog Ginger, a 5 year old chihuahua, has been having sinus issues. She constantly makes wet gurgling noises, especially when licking her paws or bathing, and one nostril is fully blocked according to our vet, causing her to breath heavily. She also sneezes occasionally, though not too frequently. She does not have any visible nasal discharge, and she is energetic and behaving normally. Based on our vet's advice, we have been giving her Benadryl daily, and she went through a course of antibiotics, but she hasn't gotten any better. Any idea what might be going on?

I noticed my puppy was “coughing” (sounded like choking) quite a bit I thought maybe he wasn’t chewing his food and was choking on some of the kibbles and then I started noticing he was gagging but he would never throw anything up and it continued for a little bit. Now I noticed he has thick slimy green mucus coming out of both his nostrils and started shaking his head and scratching at his ear and also rubbing his paw on his face. He hasn’t really lost his appetite (at least not that I’ve noticed) and he is still very playful and active he just keeps coughing and gagging and his nose is nasty. What do you think could be wrong with him. Someone told me he could have kennel cough and now I’m beginning to get worried but no vet can see him for weeks I’m just wondering if someone could give me an idea of what could be wrong? Could he have kennel cough or could it just be like an infection or something more serious?

We just adopted a puppy from a shelter. A few days after adoption, they told us our dog may have been exposed to a dog that has since been diagnosed with distemper. We are so scared that our puppy has it too. He has some white milky discharge from his nose, but only when he is sleeping. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of the other symptoms that come with distemper, and I am hoping he could just have some other problem. His energy level is great and he definitely has no loss of appetite. He just seems to have some trouble breathing while he’s asleep and has some nasal drip while sleeping as well.

Please help -- My dog is 8 years old, almost 9. About 5 months ago she started having sneezing episodes that consisted of: sneezing and snotting on the floor (or wherever she is at that moment, which has included our bed and our furniture many times), she'll usually sneeze about 5 small times and then she'll have one or two big ones that shoot mucous all over. She also has episodes of "reverse sneezing" over and over. If she's not sneezing outright, she's reverse sneezing and it is very loud and makes it so we can't sleep at night (she will get up 5-10 times throughout the night to sneeze or reverse sneeze). The mucous was clear from the beginning, but it was always a thick mucous and now it seems to be turning more of a greenish hue. Of course we went to our trusted veterinarian, who gave us three medications, one for allergies, one for sneezing, and an antibiotic. None of them worked. So we went back. He was confused as to why this might be going on since there is no sign of blood or infection and her overall demeanor has not shifted whatsoever. She is still happy and energetic, doesn't seem sick. So our next option is to do a nose scope, however that is INCREDIBLY expensive just to find out what is wrong, let alone the cost of whatever treatment is necessary afterwards. We will have to do this soon, but we are trying to explore every possibility beforehand. SO, we went to another vet to get a second opinion. That vet was very helpful, but still at a loss for what could be going on. That vet did say that they have scoped dogs before and in the cases that it wasn't cancer, it ended up being nasal mites. So the vet gave us treatment for nasal mites. It was a 3 week treatment and at first we thought she seemed better (we were getting more sleep at night and picking up a lot less snot), but at the end of the three weeks the issue has only gotten worse. We are now at a loss of what it could be, and so we took her to another vet in our hometown to see if the sneezing could possibly have to do with her teeth, since she needs a couple pulled. They assured us that it shouldn't be that. BUT. The assistant at that vet clinic happens to HAVE a dog of her own that has been doing the exact same thing, but for FIVE YEARS. We cannot do this for five years. It is wearing on us heavily right now and she is miserable when she's in the act of sneezing/reverse ". At this point, we are planning to scope her nose, but we are afraid the results will come back inconclusive and it will be a massive waste of money. We just want to know if anyone else has experienced this exact issue and how was it resolved? If there is ANY insight that ANYONE can give me, please please do. We need help! Thank you in advance.
