| Sneezing? Louis starts sneezing almost every morning when he first wakes up. It's not just one sneeze either. He sneezes about 3-4 times. Does anyone else's yorkie do this?

| It could be from him inhaling fuzz from a blanket while he's sleeping.

| My yorkie doen't sneeze that often but my shorkie and my shih tzu do almost every day. I also have a cat that sneezes about 10 times in a row. I also have a feeling it might be allergies. |

| Hmmm.... I would think if it was allergies it would be all the time, not just when he wakes up. I wonder what the other reasons could be?

| Sunlight or bright light can trigger sneezing in humans (photic sneezing reflex). Perhaps it's true for Yorkies as well. Here is a link to an article in Scientific American that explains it better: Looking at the Sun Can Trigger a Sneeze: Scientific American. |

| OMG!! Chloe sneezes like crazy really early every morning... like 6-8 times and then she goes to sleep again!!! I assumed it was allergies because the vet didnt find anything wrong with her... interesting...

| Bevo sneezes instead of barking inside! He knows not to bark, but I bet your may ne from allergies.

| My shih tzu sneezes to get attention and I had a schipperke who did the same thing,too. I've only had my yorkie Belle for about a month and haven't noticed her sneezing yet... Melissa and Belle |
