Your puppy may have an upper respiratory tract infection which can be common in young puppies because their immune systems aren't fully developed. He may need some antibiotics and/or antihistamines to help stop the sneezing. The other cause of sneezing could be from a foreign body, like a piece of grass, that has become stuck in hos nose. If this is the case the sneezing will not resolve until it is removed. I would recommend taking Roscoe to the vet to be checked out so he can be treated appropriately. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Hello! Roscoe's sneezing could be caused by an irritation in his nose (dust, pollen, other allergy), but it could also be a symptom of an upper respiratory infection. If roscoe has any nasal discharge or eye discharge along with his sneezing, a visit to the vet might be in order. It's probably not an emergency (especially if he is eating, drinking, and acting normally), but sneezing plus other symptoms could be something that needs to be treated (either supportively or with antibiotics). If he's just sneezing, the vet could also suggest ways to minimize it, either by removing the irritant (if possible) or by prescribing antihistamines. I do not recommend giving him anything over-the-counter without the advice of a veterinarian. Good luck, and I hope that Roscoe's sneezing subsides soon!

Hi there! It is likely Legend has picked up a respiratory infection. He will probably need a course of antibiotics which your veterinarian can prescribe for him after a physical exam. While most respiratory infections are somewhat mild-every now and then one progresses to make them very ill. Best to be seen soon to keep this from happening. My best to you both, hope this helps!

Dusty is a very handsome boy! Yes, it is possible that he could have allergies or a respiratory infection, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I would have him seen by a vet for this on Monday if he's still sneezing. Until then, only take him out long enough to go potty, keep him indoors and warm, make sure he keeps eating, offering him gently warmed wet food if it appears he's going off his food. Also make sure he's drinking plenty of water, and rest him. I hope this helps!
