My boxer has had a very runny nose and sneezing his head off the past 2 days. He's still eating (not as much as normal) and drinking and playing. Just wondering how concerned I should be with him sneezing so much.

It's probably an upper respiratory infection, those infections are usually viral and do not require any treatment, symptoms should not last more than 2 weeks. if other symptoms occur or if she becomes lethargic, take Judge to the vet to get him checked.
