    I am wondering about a sneezing problem with my Bella that started a couple of weeks ago. She will sneeze, mostly when she first wakes up after a nap or in the morning. She makes the craziest faces and then comes out with a series of sneezes. Nothing else seems to be bothering her… no cough or nasal discharge or anything. The only thing I can think of corresponding with the onset of this sneezing is her check-up. She had a kennel cough vaccine (the one they put in thier nose) about three weeks ago. Is it possible that it irritated her nasal passages??? :confused:

    I would say yes to that, anything that touches their noses seems to make them sneeze. If it continues for another week I would call my vet, she might have allergies, lots of pollen this time of year. Sahara will sneeze alot when their is pollen in the air.

    If it keeps going for much longer, I would take her into the vet…there could be something stuck up there that is causing an irritation.

    My german shepherd mix had allergic bronchitis. The nasal spray vaccine would make her sneeze for days afterwards. After the first time, I always had the vet give her that vaccine by injection. My current vet only carries the spray vaccine. I actually took Pepper to another vet just to get the injection. The nasal spray never bothered by B Max.

    Yup Topaz has been sneezing quite a bit more than usual these days. I have a feeling the poor little girl has a pollen allergies.

    Altho I think your issue is different & going to the Vet sounds like a good idea.

    For anyone experiencing similar symptoms, gonna post a recap from today's visit. Vet said that it's very likely to be an allergy, since his symptoms didn't really worsen, other than 2 or 3 breathing difficulty attacks (probably due to extra exposure to the allergen). Chances to be a foreign body stuck in his nasal passage or ear are very slim, because he would've already gotten at least some yellowish/greenish, pus like, nasal discharge and a lot more pawing and overall discomfort. Same goes for kennel cough, but since it has a longer incubation period, he said to keep under supervision for 2-4 more days (should at least get some specific coughing, fever or something related to infections). He said that a blood test would pretty much say nothing in this case, and a lung X-ray is also not needed since he didn't hear anything weird with the stethoscope. He just recommended to stay away as much as possible from grass for now and keep an eye on him. Prescribed Aeurius in case of other breathing attacks. All in all, my boy seems to be getting better. Not much sneazing, other than a few times when taken outside. Nose doesn't seem to be as runy either. And he seems to be getting his energy back, as he wanted to play today. As much as I dislike his zoomies sometimes, I 100% prefer that than not feeling well and laying down, heh.

    @debradownsouth The ASPCA is a horrible organization for all animals. Every time legislation is introduced to Ban Horse Slaughter they get in touch with the Reps and Senators and kill the bill. They started by protecting Carriage Horses in New York City but those Carriage Horses are still there suffering. With Dogs they commit fraud with their TV Commercials. They say they are a no kill shelter but they outsource the killing. I did my own investigation into them at the Headquarters on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. I went every day after work for 2 weeks and said I was interested in a small dog. I told them which dog I was interested in but the day after that the dog was gone. It had not been adopted because they said the little Dog was vicious! It was not. they give the Dogs and Cats 7 Days and then they transfer them to a facility that has one purpose: to Euthanize Dogs and Cats. The oils are so diluted that there is no danger of them being made ill. My Mom is a Nurse and we had one Cat who lived to be 25 years old. She knows what she is doing. ASPCA is not a good source because they lie and defraud their donors. A

    When Chance got his nasal Bordatella he did the exact same thing for a few hours. When it came time for Kiya's Bordatella we opted for the shot instead and had no problems. If you are given the option I would just do the shot instead so Jackpot won't have to go through that again. Poor little guy. :(

    It could also be something called "nose mites" in swedish it´s something they can get at indoor dogshows or otherkinda close contact to dog´s affected with it.This reverse sneezing is one of the most typical symtoms. They treat it here with either a med called stronghold or interceptor pills. Might be an idea to ask your vet to test the dog . If a dog has this he shouldn´t meet other dog´s as it´s very contagious.I read on a swedish dogforum about this and it also said that you could vaccinate them with Ivomec S.
