Oh my. Poor puppy. Green discharge from the nose means he has a severe infection and needs to be put on oral antibiotics right away. Upper airway infections in puppies can quickly turn into pneumonia, so its best to get him examined and treated by your vet as soon as possible. For food recommendations, I would advise getting one of the following top brands; Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Evo or Eukanuba. It should be a puppy formula food and small or large breed depending on your pets specific breed. Best of luck and I hope that your pet Rania feels better soon! Take care.
