Poor Ikey! A dripping nose can be a sign of a respiratory infection, allergies, a foreign body (if there is blood in the discharge), a fungal infection (again if there is blood), or even a nasal tumor (but not likely). I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can determine what is causing his symptoms, and can prescribe a treatment of them. If he has a respiratory infection, for example, he may benefit from antibiotics.

There are may things that could cause this. If you could send a picture I may be able to give you more detailed recommendations. If it looks like a clear discharge you could try Benadryl twice a day. If the discharge is green or crusty, he likely needs to see your vet. Your vet will be able to look up in the nose to see what is going on or recommend additional diagnostics if needed. Your vet will be able to get him started on the proper treatment plan as needed. I hope this helps.

Clear nasal discharge can be a sign of allergies or potentially an upper respiratory infection. If there seems to be a large volume of discharge, if the discharge turns green or yellow, or if she is sneezing I'd recommend having a vet examine Mya.
