Jack is sneezing uncontrollably - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello YT,

An hour ago my dog ran to me with a sneezing fit. He keeps licking his left nostril and sneezing. At times it seems like he has the equivalent of a human's stuffy nose. This is the first time he's sneezed like this.

He seemed to go to sleep for a little bit but began to sneeze again after his ball bonked him on the nose. Any ideas? What could it be?

Was he outside before he started sneezing? Maybe something went up his little nose. I hope some others have an idea of what it could be. Hope he stops soon.

Jack was inside by the main entrance. He has since settled down, but still sneezes occasionally. Maybe a sneeze every 10 minutes or so. I've checked his nose and nothing seems to be visible. It's a small opening... How can something get in there?

I remember a friend telling me that her yorkie had a tiny grass piece in her nose that made her sneeze. Zander had reverse sneezing I discovered it was due to something in the food he was on, natures variety, once I changed the food the sneezing stopped.

I hope your cutie settles and the sneezing stops.

The sneezing rang a bell with me and I looked on YouTube. Our own AlaskaYorkie posted a video on YouTube about his dog getting a foxtail in his nose, sneezing was the result.

the only think i would be concerned with is foxtail - is that a possibility? if not then allergies and my girl did this one night and we were freaking out but she stopped by next day - maybe wipe down nose with warm wash cloth in case something is tickling her nose

Thanks for all the ideas. My wife and I took him to the vet and were advised to have an HMT and some benadryl. The doc says that his symptoms aren't life threatening, so that's a good sign. He most likely stuck his nose in a dusty corner and took a whiff. It's just so odd for him to sneeze for hours on end.

Update coming soon.

Oh wow that sneeze sounds exactly like Jack's. The doc looked up his nose and couldn't see anything. I'd hate to have to put him under to have something removed from his nose. Thanks for the video.

yeah it happened to mine and it was making us crazy and we called vet and said it is allergies and they were getting alot of calls about it that week. Hope your dog does better soon

He didn't sneeze once during the visit to the vet and the ride home. Figures.

Jack went into the yard this morning and began to sneeze a few more times. He has a healthy appetite and is going to the bathroom. Although his nose isn't sensitive to the touch, he still lets out a few good sneezes while in the yard.

How much is allergy medication? Is it hard to give to the dog?

Benadryl is allergy medicine, it can also make the user sleepy.
