Don't have an answer for you, but I'm sure someone will have some ideas! Good luck to your baby - hope he gets better soon!

Thank you, this is the second time Harley had sneezing fits like this and no one has any answers for me, my husband thinks it's the lawn treatment we been getting so i cancelled that yesterday, i guess i have to wait to his check up... he's been doing much better, the meds. are helping

Jody Renfroe · 08-22-2007, 10:26 AM

I'm glad the medicine is helping. That's a frightening thing! We just started with a new lawn company...they say what they use if animal friendly, but I never trust them. Hugs to you and your baby.

we had Chem lawn and they told me it was animal friendly too... who knows what there spraying your yard with... even if that is the problem with Harley... i really don't want to get into all that testing on him, we just had a baby 5 months ago and money is real tight right now......

I'm sorry your baby is ill, and I'm glad the meds are helping. Let us know how you make out at the vet.

drawlins27 · 08-22-2007, 10:36 AM

I wouldn't wait for his check up next week. Call your vet, he should be able to fit you in for something like this. He needs to see him while he is sneezing blood. He will want to take a look at what is coming out of his nose with a microscope. It could be something serious like cancer or a tumor but it is more likely to be something like a fungal infection, kidney infection, or something stuck in his nose. Take him into the vet today if possible, if nothing else, it will give you peace of mind.

Jody Renfroe · 08-22-2007, 10:39 AM

Congrats on the new baby!!! That's so exciting...I know, money can really get tight with a new baby in the house. I have two kids, both grown. My daughter is a single mom with two kids and I worry about her all of the time. It's always something...she lives in Atlanta and the cost of daycare for her youngest is insane!! Plus, they grow like weeds and are constantly out growing their clothes and shoes. I bought clothes for my Granddaughter for Christmas and within three months, she'd outgrown them!!

i took him Sunday to the emergency hospital and my regular vet wants to wait a couple days to see him and see how the antibiotics and benedryl work before i bring him in for a follow up check up... his blood work came back fine. i just don't know what could be causing that rapid sneezing with blood?? and the vet said it could be anything... so they really didn't help to much, i just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem with there yorkie

I think that the most common cause is something in the nose irritating the lining like a grass seed, small burr, or something similar. Did the ER vet look up his nose? They suggested poisoning because it can prevent blood from clotting and cause nose bleeds. But if that were the case, he would have other symptoms as well so I think that you're okay. Keep an eye on him and take him in asap if he gets worse, stops eating, or seems lethargic.

I agree with Drawlins...that there may be something in the up in the nose that is irritating it. Do you have any foxtails in your yard? If a dog gets one of them up the nose, they sneeze like that, though I haven't heard of them sneezing blood. If it is something up the nose, it could travel up further, so I would have the vet check that out. Best wishes...I hope your little one is okay!

They checked his nose, there was nothing stuck up there.... maybe allergies???

Sounds like they couldn't determine what was causing the problem. Did they give you any meds? Is it still happening.
