My dog has a runny nose and eye discharge. What home remedies help?

My Mayor is having a nasal discharge and an eye discharge which is alarming. Are there any home remedy to give him? The vet in our area is so far and I don't have the financial needs yet. :(. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 23 days old

Hi. It sounds like Mayor has an upper respiratory infection. These can be caused by viruses, bacterial, or fungal infections. There isn't anything unfortunately from home that would cure it or treat it. That would have to come from your veterinarian. This evening you can close a small bathroom door, turn on shower as hot as possible, get the room very steamy/humid, and place him in that bathroom with the steam for 10 min 2-3 times a day. This isn't treating the infection, but helps break up mucous to make him more comfortable. Good luck.
