Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Daxter has green discharge I would be worried there is an infection. I recommend taking him to the vet that saw him for a recheck. They may need to prescribe different medications or do testing, like radiographs. Because he is young he has a weaker immune system so he may need extra help getting better. Good luck and kisses to Daxter!
