Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be nasal secretions from something like an upper respiratory infection. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a good night!
