Antibiotic sensistivity test shows that the green nasal discharge has bacteria sensitive to clavulox. Fungal culture is in progress. The first vet had prescribed clavulox but the dog still has green nasal discharge from the right nose.

Reasons for lack of cure include poor hygiene, other fungal and yeast infections or insufficient dosage or duration. Bacterial and fungal cultures are done before X-rays of the nose or MRI.

If effective drugs resolve the problem, no need X-rays.
