My Babygirl has a running nose. She eats well, uses the bathroom well, plays well. What can I get to stop her nose from running?

Hi. Poor baby. I would recommend getting an antihistamine from your veterinarian to try. Usually if the runny nose is clear, it is allergies or a viral infection. The antihistamines will help with allergies and a virus just needs to run its course. Its good news that she is doing great otherwise.
