Thanks for reaching out about Morgan. A runny nose can be due to multiple causes including bacterial/fungal/viral upper respiratory infections, nasal foreign bodies, vitamin A deficiencies, toxic exposures and others. Provide exposure to the steamy bathroom for 5-10 minutes to moisturize nasal passages. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. A diagnosis has to be reached in order to prescribe any recommendations or medications. Good luck.
