Is Your Dog Sick If Its Nose Is Running
A dog with a runny nose is not automatically sick - mild cases often clear up on their own, so do not panic. But watch for loss of appetite, cough, vomiting, or loose stool, which mean something more serious. The discharge type is a clue: clear watery fluid suggests a cold or rhinitis; thick egg-white mucus points to an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis; yellow-white sticky mucus signals sinusitis; pus-like, pasty discharge suggests distemper, pneumonia, or bronchitis; and blood-tinged or foamy fluid warns of lung bleeding, edema, or congestion. If it is only a simple cold, keep the dog warm, give water, and a little children's-dose banlangen or antiviral oral liquid for about three days - but stick to a child's dose.
