Why is my 10-year-old dog's nose constantly running with mucus?

Question

My Shepherd Kane has developed a nasal discharge that is mostly mucus. This began about 2 months ago. It was very bloody so I gave him Tetracycline since I took it for an infection.The blood is almost entirely gone but his nose runs constantly. His appetite, attitude, energy is perfect. The nasal thing is making me blow my nose constantly. I wipe his nose and he feels better but he is 10 years old and I would love to dry up this discharge. Can you please help Kane, my best friend?

The two main options are a foreign body in the nasal cavity or a nasal tumor. in order to find out what it is he will need to be taken to the vet and either an endoscopy or a CT scan will need to be done to get a diagnosis.
