My dog has been sneezing uncontrollably for hours. Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rat Terrier | Female | unspayed | 35 lbs

My dog has been sneezing uncontrollably for about seven hours now it was a lot more persistent earlier because the sneezes we’re about five seconds apart from each other but as of now there 10 to 15 minutes apart I noticed when she is under a blanket she’s not sneezing as much or at all but is soon as she comes out into the open air she starts sneezing uncontrollably. No physical signs of pain. Did not see anything in her nose but can’t really see in. I don’t know what the next step to take is.

I'd recommend having Gigi examined by a vet - this sounds like extreme sneezing. There might be a foreign object stuck in her nose. If she has also had nasal discharge then an infection, growth, or even a tooth root abscess could be causing the sneezing.
