I have a five week old puppy that keeps sneezing a lot!! Seems like more after she eats or drinks anything! She’s started on puppy soft food already but she didn’t want to eat any this morning! She also had a white mucus discharge

I recommend to take your puppy in to have an exam. Although something like a cold or a virus is a very common cause of sneezing, if you notice it more after eating or drinking that can be suspicious for a cleft palate. The doctor needs to take a good look inside her mouth and make sure that her hard palate appears normal. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions!
