I would certainly check with your vet, but I normally recommend 2 weeks of antibitoics for that kind of trauma. If the sneezing and heaving breathing is continuing while on the antibiotics, gets worse or returns when you have finished the antibiotics, then I would recommend that your vet examines him again. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
