Very snotty nose

Question
Hello,
Our english bulldog puppy had his 12-week shots last week, and now has come down with what seems to be a cold.  From what I understand, this is from the Bordatella vaccination.  For about a week now, our bulldog has had thick, green snot coming out of his nose.  Will this pass?  Is there anything I should be doing?  Also, should I avoid the bordatella vaccination the next time he gets shots?

Answer
He should probably go back to the vet. Green snot isn't good and he probably has an upper respiratory infection and needs antibiotics.

Bordatella is only given once a year and unless you board your dog a lot, I would avoid it altogether. Do get him to the vet asap though please.
