My dog's cough, sneeze, and green snot returned after treatment.

Question

Our dog was seen by two different vets. He is a 6 yr old fixed male. Never been sick, always had his annual shots and bordetella. His first symptoms were hacking and sneezing. Our original vet said he has allergies. Within the bext three days he started coughing and sneezing and blowing white snot. Second vet said he had a upper respiriry virus treated him with doxycycline and terrermil. Seemed to clear up so after all medicine was taken it wasnt a week yhat he got worse, with snot turnin green.

I apologize for the delay in answering your question, and I am so sorry that Carlos is having problems. It’s possible that he’s got rhinitis, which can be caused by an allergic type reaction, an infection, or even an auto-immune type condition where the nasal passages become inflamed for no reason. A foreign body (such as a grass seed) would also be possible, as would a nasal tumor. A rhinoscopy (scope of the nose) and biopsy may be needed for a diagnosis and to determine the best treatments. Follow up with your vet to discuss the recurrence of the problem, and discuss the best way to move forward. http://download.skyscape.com/download/ota/5mvetcf5/documents/pdf/rhinitis_and_sinusitis.pdf Thank you for asking PetCoach!
