Why is my dog's nose dripping water, even when awake, for days?

Question

Water (or watery liquid) has been dripping from my dog's nose for a few days now. Earlier it was just when she was sleeping, her nose would be runny and drops of water would come out of the nose. But now even when she's awake, at least 3-4 drops of water come out at large intervals. So it is not extremely runny but still. What is wrong? Thanks to whoever answers!

I am sorry to hear about Hyper. If she is still active/energetic, eating and drinking well, and has no coughing or sneezing I would continue to monitor her closely at home. The runny nose could be a result of a mild upper respiratory infection (most often viral, occasionally bacterial or fungal), an allergy to something in the environment like pollen, or an irritant in the nasal passages such as a piece of grass or dirt. You can try placing Hyper in a room with a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom while you run a steamy shower for 10 minutes to give her a steam treatment as keeping the respiratory passages moist is helpful in these cases. If Hyper becomes lethargic, stops eating, has trouble breathing, is coughing, or the discharge turns green/yellow then a visit to the vet is recommended. Best of luck to you and Hyper!
