Thank you! It is frustrating.

Buddy is almost 5. The vet took temp when she visited, it was fine. He was a rescue, we're not sure of his past, or his specific breed. Best guess is long haired Dachshund and Spaniel mix.
But I agree... unfortunately it's not my dog, so I doubt they will take him to a neuro. But I am worried that it IS neurological. But maybe it's not at all... and it's just allergies. I will keep you all updated on the diet change too.
He also seems to have breathing difficulties alot, but I'm pretty sure it's just reversed sneezing. It sounds like all the examples I've heard. Which I think can be a part of allergies too? So maybe it is ....
