Guest CometAndDasher Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 We recently adopted our second greyhound. He has had a very drippy, running nose since we brought him home two weeks ago. Should we be concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have a couple greyts whose noses run in the cold weather. I am not concerned. Where do you live? If it is in a cooler climate, I really wouldn't worry. Oh, and, Welcome to Greytalk, THE BEST PLACE on the internet, and of course, congrats on your greyhound! Love and hugs! Dee and The Five!

Guest CometAndDasher Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks for the welcome! We live in Arizona which is not a very cold climate but it has been cooler than normal. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Most greyhounds noses will drip during times of stress or excitement. If your hound is new to your home, that's probably the reason. Once your hound is settled and comfortable, the drippy nose should stop.

Carl's was really drippy when he came to live here. 2 years later it gets drippy when he is excited or it's time to eat!

greytpups Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Our greys drip when they're stressed. We adopted Ben almost 5 years ago and he still drip when he's anxious. Bailey did too. And Brooke's nose drips when she's scared. Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

maximum Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 We've had Max for almost 8 years. He is a pretty calm dog, easy going, not anxious. And his nose has dripped continuously for those 8 years. We call him Sir Snotsalot . There is no ebb or flow in the drip; it is steady, consistent. Our hardwood floors our polka dotted in Max drippies. There is nothing wrong - vet checks regularly, but he just has nothing else wrong with him. He's just a big drip! Your boy's faucet may slow down as he settles in - or he may always be a drip, just like Max! Quote My boys, together again...
