Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an upper respiratory infection. This is something that if confirmed, your veterinarian could prescribe antibiotics. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to allergies. There could also be a component of an upper respiratory infection. Medications can be used for both which would help. I do not thing this is related for he pneumonia episode 3 years ago. I recommend that you have Sam evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If they agree with this possibility, they may prescribe medications at that time. Good luck and have a great day!
