Sneezing

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Booger has been sneezing a lot recently. It started around the same time we got our new dryer, and at first we thought he might be allergic to the fabric softener we're using. However, I'm not so sure now. He sneezes in small fits throughout the day & night & at seemingly random times (in the middle of the night, at the dog park, in the car, watching tv, whatever).
    Right now the weather is kind of up & down temperature wise & leaves are falling, etc. Could it just be seasonal allergies? It doesn't seem to bother him a lot, and he doesn't have any other symptoms, so I see no need to take him to the doctor. But if there's something I could give him to relieve the sneezing without making him groggy or without needlessly medicating him, I would like to try it. Any experience will fall time allergies?

    it's funny you mention that. We have noticed it with all of ours. Maybe it is allergies.

    It doesn't have to be cut grass - this time of year there is pollen in the air. Some of my (human) family suffer runny noses and weepy eyes now for a month or so.

    We decided to take Booger to the vet this evening. The doctor seems to think its just allergies to something in his environment. He recommended antihystamines & possibly antibiotics. He said if those don't improve it, we might want to have a culture taken from his nose. So we got some Benadryl, and hopefully his condition will improve over the next day or two.

    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.
