Sadie keeps sneezing!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Sadie had been sneezing all day! What do I do?

Oh, poor Sadie! Is there anything going in the house, a new project, construction that might cause her to sneeze? Have you changed her diet/bedding? Are there any other symptoms, like coughing, a runny nose? She might have a cold/virus or maybe she's developing allergies or it might just be dry air or dust that's irritating her nasal passages. If she's still sneezing tomorrow, I'd call the vet to get checked out. Please give her a big, big hug for me Sarah. Get well soon, sweet Sadie!

Nope, no construction... she wass on Eukanuba for a while... and then I recently switched to Nutro.... that might be it. If she keeps it up, I'll have to call the vet. I just thinks she has a little cold. Bud I hope it's nothing serious! Thanks Sandra!

P.S.... we need some new Star and Cody pictures!

What should you do? Tell Sadie to stop sneezing! Labs are eager to please.

Sheldom will they sneeze as a result of a "cold", although it can occur a little in kennel cough. There can be localized irritations (dust, "nasal mites") resulting in localized bacterial infections. Allergies are low on the list of causes. Also there are esoteric causes such as foreign objects lodged in the nasal passages, tooth root problems , and other things too unpleasant to consider.

To the Vet you go...

Sneezing can mean a tooth root problem?? Huh, well atleast I know Chipper's nasty teeth don't have root problems, they just need cleaning.

Cleaning the teeth has got to be easier than pulling the roots!
