My puppy got grass in his nose and is sneezing. Should I see a vet?

Question

I just took my puppy out to use the bathroom and he got a peice of dead grass stuck in his nose I tries to get it out but when I did he started sneezing and I couldn't tell if it was dislodged or went further in and now he has sneezing spells on and off for the past 30 min is this something to worry about?

I suspect there is still some grass in there. The grass can get stuck farther up in the nasal passages and cause irritation/infections so it's best to have a veterinarian check him out to and get all of the grass out. It's not an emergency, but good to have an appointment within the next day. We can usually get it out fairly easily and quickly. I hope that helps and Ace gets better soon.
