I would not worry about it.
Make sure she is eating and pooing okay.

A runny nose shouldn't be a uge cause for concern, as long as she is eating/pooping/drinking/playing normally, acting like a normal puppy in all other aspects.
Did you get her from a breeder or a shelter? 6wks is early to bring a lab pup home, reputable breeders will not send them home until 8-10 wks, some even 10-12. Bringing her home early was not the cause of this 'runny nose' but could pose health and behavioral problems in the future. I would read up about puppies that young and make sure you do all you can to get her adapted well into your family.
Good luck! We have an 11wk chocolate, soo much work and such a little monster sometimes, but we love her for it!!

Runny noses in dogs is not uncommon. She may have some mild alergies. Yes dogs can have alergies too. I have one dog who sniffs the grass and sneezes then has his nose run everytime he goes out. But it stops. This seems to be a little more common in puppies and younger dogs. The resistance grows as the dog does. There are other reasons, a slight cold or being excited can cause a runny nose.

If it's a clear, watery discharge it could just be because she's excited and/or nervous. Does it go away when she's relaxed? If so, nothing to worry about.
If it continues for several hours, that would be different. It could be allergies or infection. If she also has any coughing and sneezing or discharge from her eyes, she needs to see the vet.
But if her runny nose is only slight and occasional, I think it's likely nothing to worry about.

It would be a good idea to go ahead and take her to the vet. If the breeder did not have her shots started, you need to do that right away .

i became right into a school pupil as quickly as I have been given my first pets, so i will sense your soreness to a undeniable diploma. you probably did they perfect subject by using going to the vet, yet I could desire to declare that i don't accept as true with skipping out on the xray. till now you get protecting, heres why: A doggy's turning out to be legs are particularly gentle. A small fracture or injury could be an exceedingly vast concern if left untreated. If the leg is definitely broken and heals incorrectly, you're staring at a life-time concern with the doggy. think of how lots the vet costs will start to pile up once you have a completely lame canines that demands a surgical operation later directly to repair the wear, etc. while i became into at school I had to cough up a lot of money for expensive vet costs. it sucked, yet I had to do it. I had something comparable on your difficulty take place with a cat and that i desperate to open a discounts account for vet emergencies in undemanding terms after coping with that mess. i could advise you look into it. it could shop your butt sooner or later!! confident, in college, funds is stretched skinny, yet once you connect as much as shelter yet another residing creature, you're able to desire to take the undesirable with the stable. Its irresponsible to pass out on the x-ray if the leg concern persists. with a bit of luck you spend the $350 and it DOES become not something. yet what if it does become broken? not something incorrect with giving it some days to work out if it gets greater constructive, yet while it does not advance heavily in some days i for my area think of you're able to desire to sack up and pay for the xrays. And if the vet pronounced do not wrap, than do not wrap it!! They be responsive to lots greater with regard to the healing technique than we do. stable success, and that i particularly wish its not something greater suitable than a pulled muscle!!

I am a vet and can answer this for you. It could have a slight cold. Many dogs that are adopted or born are not used to your house temperatures and can sometimes catch colds. Their could be another reason to dogs that over drink water release the excess through the nose for when they pee it does not only release water but other junk too. Vet, Max

Has she had her shots?
If not, it could be early signs of distemper. My dog had bronchitis...
PLEASE get it checked out... I promise it'll be worth it.
