My dog is sneezing and has a runny nose. Could it be allergies or flu?

Question

Hello. My dog has been sneezing A LOT the past few days. Is it possible she has allergies? Her nose is also running and dripping. She had diarrhea yesterday morning and a bloody soft serve poop in the evening but this morning her poop was back to normal. Do you know if dog can get the flu or is it something else?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. Sneezing can definitely be due to allergies and that is probably the most common reason. Some medications for allergies can be started for this to be used on an as needed basis. If her diarrhea or sneezing persist, I recommend that you have Irie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea and/or allergies depending on the results of needed. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
