My dog has a crusty nose and discharge, but acts normal. Should I worry?

Question

My dog recently has gotten a crusty nose with some nasal discharge. She does not seem to be lethargic or lacking any energy. She acts normal. Her nose has been like this for about 2 weeks now. At one point was sniffling a lot but that seems to have gone away. I can not tell what color the nasal drip is.

She could have an infection or possibly an auto-immune disease. Since this has been going on for 2 weeks, she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. She may need an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and other medications to help treat.
