So i have a question. Since Dozer is only a year old, this is his first real winter,i noticed since the beg middle of oct hes been super snotty, snotty as in like booger snotty, his nose runs all the time, all day and night and he when he sleepsit sounds like its a wet mucousy typ of sound, he loves to sleep on his back, so when he rolls back over its like a waterfall down his face lol.. when i give him a benadryl it will dry a lot of it up. Is this whoel thing normal??

Not normal
A bulldog's nose should not be running. I don't know what the problem might be. Others here may know, or you might want to talk with your vet.
Clear or colored
Noses will run at times, but it should always be clear. Running like a water hose is not normal.
I would at the least have a quick vet check to have the lungs listened to. Don't want pneumonia to start.
Have you taken the temp?
runny nose
Fatboy has this. And I noticed it was due to the colder weather change. When I took him to the vet recently I told the vet how he sounded all phlegmey and what not. The vet asked if his nose has been runny (it had been). He then listened to his chest. Said everything sounded normal and it looked like we had one allergic puppy.
We were told to give benedryl to help ease the issues.
Fatboys runny nose is clear btw but what I understand is if it has color it's not normal.
Fatboy aka Stinky :)
its clear
the snots are always clear... Its actually now when i think about it, more at night when hes falling a sleep and in the morning when he first wakes up.. Also when someone comes to the house or we go somwhere when he gets excited he snots lol.... Kinda like how a happy dog pees, he snots haha..
He does have a bunch of allergies like Fatboy does, so im thinking maybe its just something like that.. He has an appt next week anywayz for the vet, ill deff bring that up in covo. Thanks guys.xo
