Our Miniature Dachshund has been sneezing a lot over the last few days. She also has a higher than normal level of nasal discharge from her nose. Apart from that she is bright and lively. Might this be an allergy or does she have a cold? Any suggestions and potential remedies woud be appreciated.

If she's got a runny nose to it sounds like it could possibly be the start of kennel cough (a dog can get it without going into kennels) it can be passsed on just by sniffing the same patch of grass in the park that an infected dog has sniffed. Look out for any coughing, going off food etc,it will need to be treated with antibiotics as sadly it can be fatal & deep chested breeds like her can be affeced by it worse than other breeds.

Give her a nice warm bath. If she has gotten into anything outside it will help wash that away from her skin and hopefully help the sneezing and all around make her more comfortable. You can also try over the counter Benadryl and see if that helps, but I'd talk to your vet first. Usually allergies/colds in dogs don't present the same way in dogs as in humans, ie - no runny nose. Keep an eye on her for the next few days and if she doesn't get better take her to the vet.

My dogs would do that when they got a fox tail (a type of weed) in their nose. They can get in their ears too. You should have the vet look at it because they can get infected and they aren't easy to remove.
