Max could be sneezing for several reasons and the most common are infection or allergies. A foreign object stuck in the nose, fungal infection or cancer can also cause dogs to sneeze. If his sneezing is continuing beyond a week, I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian. The doctor will perform a physical exam and should be able to get a better idea of what is going on. You can use a humidifier, an air filter and make sure that the filter in your furnace is changed on a scheduled basis to help improve air quality and may help with the sneezing. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Reverse sneezing is common in dogs and luckily it is not harmful. The cause of a reverse sneeze is definitively unknown, but allergies seem to play a role and environmental odors such as smoke, perfume and potpourri. Considering there is no identified cause for it, it is difficult to prevent the problem. Certainly, you should have your veterinarian give your dog an exam and rule out other causes of abnormal breathing, such as an upper respiratory tract infection, collapsing trachea, nasal tumors or polyps, foreign bodies in the nasal passages or mouth and others. Sometimes blood tests, allergy tests or radiographs are necessary to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. Most reverse sneezing cases do not require treatment. During a reverse sneezing episode you can try to gently stroke the neck and try to calm your dog. If the episodes last longer than a minute your vet may prescribe anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine or decongestant medications.

Poor Buster! He could have an upper respiratory infection, allergies, or possibly a foreign body such as a piece of grass or a foxtail in his nose. If this has been going on for more than 24 hours with no improvement, I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam. He may need an antibiotic, some type of allergy medication, or even a nasal scope and flush under sedation if a foreign body is suspected.

I would recommend taking him to the vet if it is interfering with his daily activities. There could be for foreign material (i.e. Grass awns, hairs, etc) irritating his throat or an allergy that could respond to medical treatments through your vet. Typically reverse sneezing isn't dangerous however it can't be very bothersome to the pet. Getting him seeing in the next day or two is advised.
