too much sneezing

Post by nikos_marinos »

My Franco is 8 months old. The last 10-15 days I hear a sound like he has phlegms but I can not understand if its coming from his mouth or his nose. Also he is sneezing many times during the day. I suppose that its spring allergy. He eats, plays, sniffs normaly. We have an appointment to the vet but at 30 of May. What should I do till then?

The vet is the only one who can diagnose what is causing the sneezing. If you think it is allergies from plant pollen or something outside you could try to keep Franco indoors more. If it is something in the home - cleaning products, sprays or some new fragrance you could stop using the product to see if it makes a difference. However it could be that a grass seed or something similar has caught in his nostril so you don’t want to do too much until you have a diagnosis.

There are some suggestions on this link, if it is seasonal allergies but do be aware that it may be some other cause:

If Franco is well apart from the sneezing, eating, playing normally and his usual self, try not to worry. If anything changes though, I would contact the vet again for an earlier appointment if possible.
