Keep an eye on it, if it persists for the next 24 hours I would call a vet. Dog's noses are wet naturally, but not runny.

The answer is it depends. A runny nose is not normal. A newborn pup will have immunity passed to it from it's mother. If the mother is properly immunized, if the discharge is clear and not profuse and the pup continues to nurse I'd watch it until tomorrow a.m. It is very important to keep nursing pups warm. The temperature of the room should be 85 degrees. They cannot regulate their body temperature until they are older. Call your vet let them help you take good care of the mother and her puppy. A nursing mother should be on a high quality puppy food to make sure she has enough calories to maintain good body condition as well as provide milk for her babies.

Be sure he is warm enough and be sure his nose is clear for suckling.

When we had puppies we were literally in shorts in the winter in the house - there can be no drafts. Chilled pups get runny noses.
