Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 28 days old | 70 lbs
My dog has been sneezing much much more than usual (she has allergies so she sneezes some usually) and sounds like she has a lot of drainage, does she need to go to the vet?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If this has been going on for several days without any improvement, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Ivy so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. She may or may not need an antibiotic if this is an upper respiratory infection. If she has not had an antihistamine before, you can always try Benadryl or Zyrtec but I would discuss this with your vet first. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
