jparrucci Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have a 3 year old brittany that in the last day or so has started to sneeze constantly. I know a number of the people in my house have been sick with colds lately, can that be passed on to a dog? Is this something I should be concerned about? My cousin had a 5 year old German Wirehair that died of some fungus he inhaled while hunting, and he said his dog sneezed a lot prior to the diagnosis. I wondering if this could be the same thing, and if I need to get him to the vet soon. He has been eating fine and his behavior hasn't seemed to change at all. Thanks!

gonefishin11 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 My lab did this while pheasant hunting. When I looked, there was a piece of cattail stuck in her nostril. I pulled it out and she stopped sneezing. Check and see if there is something stuck in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I agree with gonefishing. If a dog is sneezing constatly there is usually something stuck in thereAlmost no human diseases can pass to dogs because their body temp is higher. A human fever kills the virus, dogs don't even get it. They have their own version, but the sneezing is usually something stuck in the nose.

walleyemkr Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I was 'babysitting' a co-workers dog for 5 days late this fall and his shorthair was doing the EXACT same thing. It eventually began to include a little bloodspray w/ the sneezing. After a couple days though, lo and behold, a 3" long pencil-diameter stick shot out across my living room. The next day, an identically-sized piece came out w/ a sneezing fit as well. That was the end of it. It took 5-7 total days of sneezing to get the thing out...

jparrucci Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Well after 2 trips to the vet, the dog has Lymes disease. I had him started on the meds on Friday, and by Sunday, he was up and about as normal already. I thought it was kinda odd for him to get it this late in the winter/spring. Has anyone else had it stay dormant in their dogs this long. So much for Frontline and the lymes vaccine. He has gotten both religiously and it did't stop a thing.
