My dog has one stuffy nostril but isn't sick. What can I do at home?

Poor Gunner! If his nose is stuffed up and he isn't feeling well, there are a few things you can try to make him feel better. First, you can try bringing him into the bathroom with you with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and moisture often help to relieve nasal congestion. If he isn't eating and drinking well, you can also offer some low-sodium chicken or beef broth to encourage him to stay hydrated. A mild respiratory infection should resolve on its own within 7-14 days. If the problem goes on longer than this, or if he stops eating completely or becomes very lethargic, then there may not be any option except to take him to the vet since he may need prescription medication and supportive care such as IV fluids to help fight the infection.

Oh no, poor Buddy! This could be caused by an upper respiratory infection, fungal infection, foreign body, or a nasal tumor if he is an older dog. You can try putting him in a room with a humidifier, or brining him into the bathroom with you when you take a shower. The steam from these may help temporarily relieve any congestion he is experiencing. I would have Buddy seen by a vet in the morning . The vet can diagnose what is causing his difficulty with breathing through his nose, and can discuss treatment options with you.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You could try letting your shower water run warm/hot with the door closed which will result in steam concentrating in the bathroom and possibly helping Brain's clogged nose. You can try this for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. Good luck!

Saline nasal spray can help moisten the nasal passages. This needs to be 100% saline with no decongestants. If the nasal discharge persists, I would recommend having buddy looked at by a veterinarian to make sure this is not infectious or due to something else such as dry eye that needs different treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

You could put a humidifier in the room with her and/or put her in the bathroom while you shower to moisturize her nasal passages and help her breath easier. She might also need an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory so you could have her examined by a vet to prescribe.

Poor Bella! Her nasal congestion could be due to infection, allergies, nasal masses (benign or malignant) or foreign material in the nasal passages. One thing that you can try at home is to take Bella into a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes twice daily. However, if the nasal discharge continues or is yellow or green, she should be examined by her vet, as this could indicate infection.

Yes, there are a few home remedies you can try to see if that helps with Rosco's congestion. I would bring him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. You can also put him in a small room with a humidifier to see if that helps with his congestion. Do not give him any human medications for his congestion, many are toxic to dogs. If he's still suffering with the congestion on Friday, take him into the vet.
