Poor Daisy. If the discharge is just clear and not yellow or green, then this is likely a sign of allergic rhinitis. Something in the environment is causing her to have an allergic inflammatory response in her nasal passages. However, as long as the discharge remains clear she may get over this on her own over the next few weeks. Monitor her daily for any changes and have her seen by your veterinarian if things get worse (sneezing, infection type discharge, decreased appetite, etc). But hopefully she won't need to be seen and she improves on her own.

    Clear discharge can indicate irritation from allergies, dust, pollens, etc. If the discharge remains clear, keeping Snowball's nose clean and checking for any of her known allergens may help some (as can giving any allergy medications she's been prescribed.) If the discharge turns to green or yellow, becomes very cloudy, or you notice other symptoms such as sneezing, fever, loss of appetite, etc, then it may indicate a more serious issue such as an infection which should be checked out by your vet.
