cold?

just got noah back from the kennels, he is still lively, eating, and drinking, but seems to have a runny/snotty nose,should i be concerned?  

Nasal discharge without other symptoms is actually something commonly seen in dogs. Sometimes it will just go away on its own; other times, other symptoms might pop up afterwards.

What colour is the discharge? Clear, runny discharge is almost always never serious on its own. Thick, yellow/green/bloody discharge can be associated with more serious conditions.

Is it coming out of one or both nostrils? If it's one, it's unlikely to be a virus. If it's both, it's probably a virus of the respiratory tract.

If it's just runny, with no colour and no other symptoms, it's probably safe to wait it out and just keep an eye on him to see how he does.

Aww Noah keep an eye on it if in doubt then a trip to the vets. 

Aww poor Noah, hopefully it's nothing, if your concerns increase give your vet a ring, keep us updated

If he starts coughing, definitely take him to the vets x

Is he sneezing at all?  Ive been trying to find out if somthing is going around at the moment https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/t42300-nasal-problem
Please keep us updated as im sure there is a bug doing the rounds. Mine were totaly fine in themselves  but sneezing like mad which turned into a guttural snort on day 4 just like if you had a cold and it was turning to thick mucas at the end. Both were fine by day 6 but I was so close to going to vets. If it gets worse or turns into a dry cough go to vets as it may be kc and antibiotics may be needed. Try youtube for the sound of kennel cough it quite distinctive

he's a little subdued, eats well, drinks, lively , but not the same dog,

Aww poor Noah, hope he gets better soon, I would keep an eye on it, and phone the vets if anything else changes

he had treatment for kc before the kennels, discharge is from both nostrils and clear but occasionally thick whitish, definately not well although eating and drinking as normal, bombing round like a nutter as
stopped. oh and LOTS of sneezing

Poor Noah, definitely sounds like he's feeling under the weather  

If it doesn't clear up in a few days definitely take him to the vets.

i will sazzle, hate seeing him low.   

I know what you mean, it's horrible to see them poorly  

Yeah better safe than sorry so vets if it doesnt clear up in a few days. In the mean time you can use something called echinacea. It boosts the immune system and can be got from health shops or even at supermarkets in liquid or tablet form. Its safe for dogs but youll prob want to google it for a dosage. Try some yourself as well when you get ill it works a treat.

I give echinacea to Daisy, but it's a powder I ordered online.

Its good stuff isnt it. If I get ill I take some and it works great. Have also given to rats when I kept them and it used to perk them up no end if they were under the weather.

Well Daisy's still clear of the Demodex so all good  I give it to her alternate months. Should get some for me as well really!

Aw poor Noah, this does sound like what Rolo and a few others have had recently. A short course of antibiotics cleared Rolo's sneezes and runny nose right up, (he is due in kennels at the end of the week, hence the trip to the vets) Keep him warm and rested hopefully it will clear up quick for him, but obviously if he shows signs of getting worse, pop up the vets. Hugs for Noah  

a lot better today, still sneezing but without the snotty discharge and he's a lot brighter in himself, so fingers crossed  

Aww I hope he continues to improve
