What Treatment is there for a dog which has sticky nasal mucus and nasal congestion?

First of all, it would be best to determine what's causing it and whether there are other symptoms you may not have noticed, like dehydration. Is it seasonal allergies or could it be bordetella or distemper or flu? If you just treat the nasal symptoms, will that allow a serious illness to go unchecked? Honestly, you should have a vet check the dog out if at all possible. If not possible, at least call a vet's office and discuss it with them. Ask your local shelter if there is any assistance available for people who can't afford to take their dog to the vet. Apply for CareCredit if you need to.
