| How often is he sneezing? Occasionally (probably not everyday) can be normal. Are you sure this isn't reverse sneezing? What do you mean by sniffling? Not snoring? Does he sound congested? Coughing? If he is coughing or congested, it could be an upper respiratory issue/kennel cough.

| he sneezes pretty often much more then once 0r twice a day, especially when excited. no congestion, mucus, coughing.. just the little sneezes. i brought him to the vet hes on antibiotic for 14 days. the doc said his lungs sound clear but it culd be the onset of a cold so hopefully the med will clear it up! ellie may ur always there wen i need u lol thanks |

It sounds like a mixture of honking and choking sort of. It can happen when they are excited.
