Hi! My family purchased Kuma about three days ago. He's been sneezing since he got here and it has gotten worse over the few days. He's now congested and sometimes wakes up from his sleep to start sneezing. He eats twice a day, plays a lot, and sleeps fine (aside from the sneezes). He does have a bit of discharge coming from his nose when he sneezes. We've used steam and are now trying a humidifier. We've also purchased a heat lamp since it gets cold at night.

Congratulations on your new puppy! Sneezing and nasal discharge can be a sign of an upper respiratory infection, which requires treatment by a veterinarian. I recommend having Kyma seen by a vet as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading if untreated. I hope this helps and that all is well with Kuma!
