| Ellie had dandruff (we were using a people shampoo that didn't agree with her). We used some anti-flaking shampoo and now we use baby shampoo and she does well. Has the vet looked at that blister and what do they say to do? Has your puppy had a well puppy check? I have no idea why all the sneezing but I would be concerned if it continues. I'm not sure whether it would be allergies or upper respiratory but I would talk to the vet if it persists.

| dandruff and fungu Sorry to hear this... and sorry to tell all the dandruff people out here... dandruff is fungus. So the two are probably different outcomes of the same fungal infection.... just like ringworms is a fungus and you don't want a yorkie to get those they lose their hair there forever... |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | It could be dry skin and not dandruff. I'd take your pupster in and have a vet properly diagnose the condition. If it is just dry skin, you can get oatmeal shampoo from your vet and it'll take the dry skin away after a couple of washes.

| If it's a fungus I'd be going to the vet to get some professional help. It'll probably clear up a lot faster that way.

| Sneezing can be caused by vaccines so if she was recently vaccinated it could be that or it could just be her- Roo sneezes ALL the time- she also snorts right after drinking or when excited. However the fungus thing could get ugly (I used to watch a lot of animal planet- animal police shows lol) anyway definitely get that checked out! |
