My Chuckie also has allergies. He is always very stuffed up, he snores (loudly), wheezes sometimes and sneezes all the time. His nose gets runny when he sneezes a lot and acts like a toddler when I get a tissue to wipe it for him. He also has problems with his ears. I thought maybe he had ear mites, but it's allergies that make his ears itch. His vet gave him hydrocortozone (sp?) ear drops that really help a lot and I clean his ears with q-tips almost every day. I feel so sorry for him when his allergies are bad, so helpless. But he really comes running when he sees me get out the q-tips. It must feel really good to him.
