Runny Nose in Dogs

I have a rescue labrador who is about 10 years old and has begun to act sick. He has had a runny nose with clear discharge and a lot of sneezing. He has also had a loss of appetite and will occasionally vomit. At night you can hear his stomach gurgle and he is also extremely gassy and has horrendous breath. We have seen the vet about several moveable fatty lumps which were determined to be benign but I have found a harder bump on his side about the size of a pea and doesn't move. He has also acted more tired. He is older and has arthritis so I understand he may be lazier but after losing my 4 year old English springer to Lymphoma I want to make sure we detect any problems early on.

Hello, I recused a 10 month old Shar-Pei Pit mix from a shelter on Wednesday. He was neutered on Tuesday. Since then he has a yellow discharge constantly and runny nose followed with sneezing. He’s eating and drinking normal. I’ve noticed when he tries to urinate sometimes it’s a lot, others it’s like he needs to go but doesn’t. I’m wondering if he possibly developed an infection? Any advice is extremely appreciated! Thank you

Our 4 month Cocker spaniel has had what seems to be kennel cough and was given anti inflammatories to help her cough she has been eating great, lots of energy, normal temperature etc. She stopped coughing for a day or two then we noticed she started to cough again and has had lots of nasal discharge a clear / white colour and started to have a productive cough, this was constant. ( still she was eating and had lots of energy etc.) We took her back to the vets and she deemed it to be a secondary infection, so prescribed Nisamox for 10 days. We are on day 9 now and her cough and nasal discharge went within the first two days, no more keeping her awake at night etc. However her nose this morning has had some discharge and I'm worried its something else.

Berkeley is a 2 yr old Bernese Mountain Dog. She recently had surgery to remove her mammary glands (MON) for testing to check for cancer as she had one severely enlarged gland. No cancer was found (FRI). She was kept under observation after surgery in the vets for a week. She came home (MON) with a slightly congested sound in her nose like a stuffy sound. When I took her back to the vet (THU) he said it might be due to the tube they had in her throat during anesthesia. I asked for an extra round of antibiotics just in case so she didn't get a secondary infection. (FRI) she started to have clear nasal discharge. (SAT) today she has yellowish discharge and sounds more congested. She has an appointment on (MON) to begin removing her stitches. I am going to call them Monday morning before her appointment to let them know about this. But in the meantime, I was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about. I've lost so much sleep worrying about my pup. She's eating and drinking fine, no fever, no vomiting, going potty fine, and has energy. To me, it seems like a cold. But I don't know if dogs can get colds.

My miniature poodle's nose will start running and it is like someone turned on a faucet. Her whole face gets wet and and she sneezes and she acts like her nose is stuffed up the way she breathes. Then it seems to pass. A little while later it happens again. The secretions are completely clear like water without any odor.

Macci has sneezed a lot like multiple times in a row usually at night and her nose is kind of runny nothing to crazy but it's always wet. The vet said it didn't seem to be an issue because discharge is clear and was probably allergies I notice once and awhile her eye seems lazy I don't know if it's related at all just observation. Sometimes she looks sad but that has been more so since we got another dog and he's getting the attention sometimes that she was always used to getting at all times. She licks the pillow a lot and always leaves a super wet spot.

Clawing ears. Gave ear mite medication, started sneezing & eyes watering. She has bad breath and she just won’t get up & go. She was also born deaf. I need some advice on home remedy’s or something. Please!

My shorkie ate grass and it went into her nasel passage.the vet had removed it with a scope I'm assuming.they gave her a cortisone and was sent home.5 days later she started sneezing and having a really clear runny nose. I gave her some natural allergie medicine and it seems to work abit.but I'm wondering now if there is imflamation going on from the scope and if it is causing her to be congested in the nose.what can be used for imflamation.

My 6yo toy poodle swallowed a bone last November. The bone was lodged in her esophagus and had to get it extracted through her mouth. After the surgery, she had a nose/throat infection and had yellow/green mucus discharge from her nose. The vet prescribed antibiotics. That worked for a few days to stop the mucus and it came back again soon after. The vet then prescribed another antibiotic and that worked for a few days and then the mucus discharge came back again. The vet then had her on antibiotic IV overnight and same result. We then took her to a specialist and had a panel of tests done on her nose discharge and came back with a list of antibiotics that had an effect. Also found in the tests was that there was no fungal infection. The vet prescribed several of the antibiotics on the list and those worked for a few days and then the mucus came back again. Nothing seems to be working. What she has does not look to be infectious as our other poodle hasn't contracted it. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

My dog has had a runny nose for 6 months - help???
Taken to vet numerous times - done a nasal flush, antibiotics, steroids, allergy meds
Nothing is helping. What do I try next - he seems so miserable

I got my puppy a couple days ago and she started sneezing a lot and has a runny nose it’s clear and watery I believe. She’s only 2 months and was in a shelter i dont know if it’s allergies or something else.

My dog has had a really runny nose for the past week or so. The other day he literally left a pool of wetness on my bed just from his nose. It's constantly running. It'll be dripping when he's awake and when he's asleep. The fluid is coming out of both nostrils. He has the same level of energy but he does seem to sleep more. He also isn't super thrilled about eating but he does finish his food. I don't know if I should be worried or not.

3 months ago was sneezing, reverse sneezing, licking lips. Took to vet given doxy. Didn't help. Then temeril p along with another med. this helped the reverse sneeze. Symptoms continued. Bigger sneezes more discharge from R nostril. Endoscope was done with culture and histo. Results showed chronic rhinitis. Doxy/peroxicam was prescribed. Tried 2-3 weeks and condition got worse and nose became discolored and was whining after sneezing. Vet said continue current meds to give them chance to work. Eventually went to specialist. Started having bloody nose after sneezing. With whining. Then had ct scan. Fungal was suspected. L nose also started drippy discharge. Turbinates missing from R nostril according to CT. Some fungus in Frontal sinus. Trephination was done. 4 days later still discharge from both nostrils and bubbly snot especially at night. Not interested in drinking water so giving through syringe. Appetitive just fine. Been on tramadol, axithromyacine, and rimidil since procedure). Nasal mites would've been caught through Endo (done in early nov) or the ct (Jan 2018) right? Just seeking out all possibilities and waiting to see results from trephination procedure.

Hi there, my dog just turned 11 years old and has been pretty much fine health-wise his whole life. As of the past month or two, he has been sneezing a lot with clear discharge coming out of his nose. It does not appear to be an issue, it just makes quite the mess. He was brought to the vet and they put him on antibiotics to no avail. Then within the past week he has developed this dry cough. It happens sporadically and it doesn’t seem to matter what the situation is, it just occurs randomly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I noticed my dog has been sneezing a lot and has a bit of a runny nose she is not acting strange she is still very playful as always it’s just the sneezing. Could this be allergies? If so what can I give her?

Nasal discharge, red eyes watery, still eating and drinking normal, just very loud breathing nad sounds very conjested. Could this be allergies or should I consult a vet? Can I give him Benadryl

My 9 month old pit bull has had a runny nose for a few days but is progressively getting worse. The mucus itself has sort of a yellow orange color to it. He used to have a dry cough but that seems to be gone. Not sure if it’s just because of the weather changing or some virus. Should I take him to the vet?

My 18 week old Golden Retriever puppy has had a runny nose for the last day, and today I noticed that it is yellowish, like when we have a cold with a runny nose... She seems completely herself, no fever or vomiting, no coughing, just the runny nose and sneezing when excited.. should I just monitor her for a few days and see if it runs it’s course on its own, or should I see her vet? She has had kennel cough before, but these symptoms are different, so I don’t feel that it is that.

Hello. My 9 month-old Bernedoodle has had a dry cough for a few days. The cough is now gone, but his nose is running and I can hear that he is congested when he breathes. The discharge is not clear, but a thick milky-yellow. Our vet initially thought he may have kennel cough (we asked her without the dog present), but now I am concerned it may be something more serious. Can you help?

We adopted a 3 month old black mouth cur mix from the shelter last week and he was neutured last week as well. we have now noticed that he has a runny nose the last couple of days and today it has a slight yellow color to it. He is acting normal and eating okay.

We bought a rescue Siberian Husky in February. All summer he has had a runny nose, the discharge is clear, but it is constant. It started about the same time my husbands allergies went nuts, so I have been assuming that it was allergies. As long as the discharge stays clear (like water) do I need to worry about getting him to the vet for testing, or try some Benadryl as I have seen recommended with other dogs here? Also, outside of the runny nose his behavior, energy, and what not, has not changed.

We have a Weimaraner with chronic nasal discharge. It started about 3 years ago when he was 6 years old. He is constantly sneezing and blowing the discharge around. It clearly effects his breathing some. We have had x-rays, nasal scopes and multiple vet visits without any answer. It often turns green into an infection and he's had a lot of ear infections as well that we treat quickly. Do you have any recommendations, we are at an impasse and it's definitely frustrating for us and him.

My Pekingese puppy, 9 months old
Constant runny nose, red eyes sneezes a lot, clear mucus comes out when he sneezes, his eye area is always wet and it has an odour, which isnt good
Im concerned about him, because this seems to be going on for a while now
I have taken him to the vet three times, out of deep concern, they say its allergies, he becomes irritable because of this, is there any thing else i can do, should i take him to another vet?

Hi-I'm part of a dog rescue and my new rescue dog (chihuahua) is having sneezing and you can hear the mucous in her nose when she breathes and just got spayed on Friday and had to have her uterus removed because it was full of pus. What should I do? And I have one other rescue dog and my own dog and I don't want them to get sick. What should I do? She is on an anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic already.

I rescued a 5 month old black shepherd. He came from California with two other puppies. All three puppies got sick with pneumonia soon after they arrive. My dog was antibiotic for 6 weeks. He continues to have thick nasal discharge that needs to be cleaned often in order for him to breathe. I have taken him to my vet and also a veterinary internist. He had a nasal culture. No fungal infection only bacteria mrsp. I can't be treated with antibiotics because it's resistant to them and the vet does not think it is the cause for the discharge. He looks and acts perfectly healthy except for his nose

New dog, runny nose.. I adopted my dog a few days ago, she is 7 months old. Perfect health all around ( from a vet ). Her nose is wet and I just noticed that it is a tiny bit different than clear? A little tiny yellow? Is there anything I can do? Is it normal? Nervousness? Allergies?

My dog is having a nasal discharge or runny nose for 1 week, she is very weak but still manage to eat and drink , what over the counter medicine can i give her? Thanks

Our dog has sneezed for years and has always had food allergies. In the last 6 months he developed a thick discharge out of one nasal. He has been on an doxycycline and an antibiotic for several months. We got him completely controlled until I ran out of his medication on a Friday night. By Monday he was back to chronic discharge. He had one episode of a bloody nose after two weeks of Benadryl and a nasal wash. He hasn't had blood since that time. I was instructed to wash his nose out with sterile saline when it occurred.
Condition ranges from moderate to severe. He seems much better outside in the cold weather.

It seems to have gotten much worse when I bought the wrong food for him. Since that time we can not get control. He is on prescription food Iams ID.
