Answer
Kelly -

Continue to work with your veterinarian in search of a treatment for your dog.  Have you had his teeth checked?  Bad teeth  may not be the reason for the pneumonia, but they could account for the sneezing and thick discharge. Ask your vet to check his oral cavity to determine if his teeth are healthy.
