Dogs don't really get colds. Even when they do have respiratory infections, such as Kennel Cough, we don't really appreciate a lot of nasal discharge. I would want to be sure that your dog has been vaccinated against the distemper virus, since this is a very serious respiratory condition that causes excessive mucous from the nose and eyes, and usually leads to death if not treated. If your dog is acting fine otherwise you can try to clean the mucous and keep the nasal openings clear, use a humidifier to soothe his nasal passages, and feed canned food to soothe his throat. However, if he continues to worsen unfortunately I think you are going to have to figure out how to see a vet about this.
