Runny Nose

[binka_nugget]

I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or something I should be concerned about. Lately, Kai's nose has been a bit drippy. Not necessarily wet..but a bit of fluid coming out. Is this normal? I'll look around google to see if I can find anything but I'd like personal experiences as well.

omgosh..i found this...

"A discharge from the nose generally means trouble. Several diseases involve nasal discharge, including distemper, bacterial rhinitis, infected sinuses, and kennel cough (in puppies and toy breeds), so a trip to the veterinary clinic is definitely in order if Slugger' nose begins to run. "

ack...maybe I'm just paranoid....:confused:

I would just call your vet and see what he or she says. I'm a big worrier though, and it's probably nothing, but just to be on the safe side!!

Kai has had his shots right? Then, i dont think distemper and kennel cough would be it. I would just go to the vet.:)

Mickey gets a runny nose when he's up in high places. He's afraid lol Like a huge dork, he goes and gets a runny nose :p

I remember when he was younger he was getting a dippy nose so I contacted the breeder and she told me he is probably just having some allergies right now. We waited a few days and then he was alright. If it continues, I would probably call your vet. :)

Oh okay. Yea I looked it up and a site said it might be Distemper, Kennel Cough, Allergies or...lumps? I'll wait a few days. It might be the food I'm giving him..I've been introducing food to him a bit too fast.

Nebo had a bit of a cold as a pup which included a sore throat, runny nose, and infected eyes....I'd take him to the vet if it continues, most likely it is something that can be cleared up pretty easy.

Tehehe I'm over tired and suddenly had a vision of Nebo blowing his nose and shuffling around the house in a house coat.
