It may be allergies if it is so frequent. The offending antigen may be difficult to identify, but your vet can make her more comfortable by giving her an antihistamine like benadryl. The dose needs to be gaged for her weight. I hope she feels better soon.

Don't take it personal, but maybe your dog is allergic to you. Do you use a lot of perfume, cologne or hair products? Try not using these around her or on yourself for a couple of days and see if that could be the problem.

maybe the dog is allergic or tempermental to soaps perfumes or air fresheners in your house. or smoke or dust or dirty air ducts or a dirty vaccuum filter Dogs cough when there sick so maybe something is just annoying her. Does she sneeze outside maybe you should take your dog outside more.

She sounds sooo cute! Ask the vet for doggie antihistamines.

Did you ask your vet about checking for allergies? Your pooch may have hay fever or something similar.

She could be allergic to something. Have you done anything different like, switch foods, use different laundry detergent, etc...
