Hi Mari
When it comes to discharge, a green color generally indicates infection. It's possible that your pup has developed an upper respiratory tract infection.

If he's the runt, and didn't nurse well from his momma he likely has a weak immune system. Bulldogs are also prone to these sort of issues because of their short muzzles.

I'd recommend that you have this pup examined by your veterinarian as soon as you can, he may need antibiotics or other treatment.

Best of luck with this little guy, hope he's doing much better soon.
