| Wiggles Needs Help Can anyone tell me if Yorkies have problems with constant sneezing and a snotty nose. My yorkie is constantly snorting and there is yuky stuff coming out her nose. This is has been going on for quite a while and I'm wondering if I can give her a small dose of childrens Benadryl. Any help is greatly appreciated I'm trying to avoid having to spend a lot of money on another vet bill. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hello and welcome! No, sneezing and nasal discharge is not normal at all and really does need a vet appt. bc antibiotics may be needed. I would not give benadryl at this point at all bc it doesn't sound like allergies and the vet should see the symptoms. The nose should also be checked for anything being stuck in there (which I doubt, but it can happen and is very miserable for them).

| That's what kind of what I thought but I thought I would see if anyone else heard of this problem first. I'll contact the vet today. Thank you. |
