Your puppy may have pickd up a respiratory virus or bacteria in the park. This could be the beginning of kennel cough, even though she is not coughing yet. Observer closely, and should the discharge get cloudy or yellowish or if she gets a seriously bad cough, take her in to your vet for an exam. Kennel cough is usually self limiting, and does not need medications unless there is a fever or a seriously debilitating cough. She will also need to be seen by a vet if she gets lethargic, stops eating or drinking or appears obviously ill.
