Info Request

Hi,

What color are the secretions from the nose? How much does she weigh and how much benadryl do you use?

Thereis no secretion. She weighs 13 lbs and she gets 1/2 twice a day

What makes you think she's congested if you're not seeing drainage from the nose?

You can hear it in her head.

Accepted Answer

Do you mean that she's snorting? If so, you might be hearing a reverse sneeze. They are pretty common and have the same cause as a regualar sneeze. But instead of sneezing out, they suck in. It's pretty common in toy dogs.

The only other way to truly clear congestion is to use pediatric nasal saline drops and a humidifier.

If this doesn't start to clear up, I would really want to see the vet to be sure there's not a foreign body stuck in the nose.

Not an acceptable anwer. Our vet had rx'd this.
Your website didn't enable me to give you all details. It kept 'throwing' me out of the system.

Answer

Did your vet do a scope of the nose or just a physical exam?

We can keep discussing this. You do not have to hit accept unless you are satisfied.
