My son’s 11 year old dachshund has been sneezing severely in the mornings and throughout the day for a year or so. Sometimes she seems to be wheezing, or reverse sneezing, and many times she sneezes a thick mucous. There is also an unpleasant odor. Could this be a chronic sinus infection?

Our almost-14-year-old Pit has been reverse sneezing occasionally for the last several months. Two days ago, I noticed he was licking his nose more than normal and acting like he was trying to essentially blow something out of his nose. When I looked at his nose, his one nostril was almost completely blocked with a dark colored, dry substance. I was able to get most of it out, however today it’s back again and now his bottom inside eyelid is inflamed looking - he can’t fully open his eye. I’m thinking it’s some type of sinus infection, but our vet doesn’t open until Monday

It seems overnight one of my dogs nostrils became swollen. She began making a noise similar to a human blowing their nose. There doesn't appear to be any debris in the nostril. She had a slight amount of snot in the un-inflamed nostril. Her breathing is fine. She's a healthy girl. Just want to take the best course of action right away.

My Brussels Griffon, Emmy has suffered from Sinusitis for over a year. Several times this inflammation has morphed info something more serious like pneumonia, or abacterial infections which required a vet visit and antibiotics. Recently we switched her food to a salmon and sweet potato kibble and have noticed she has more energy, and a lot less discharge from her nose...a lot. I'm wondering if a food allergy could be the reason for her issues instead of pollen, or another inhalant. Don't want to get too excited yet, but wondering if food could be the culprit for my little brussel sprout?

My 15 year old dachshund has had a snotty nose for a few years now...always a terrible odor from her nose and terrible breath. She has had her teeth cleaned, extractions etc. Sometimes the odor subsides when she is on an antibiotic after a cleaning but it always comes back. She has kidney failure that we are controlling with fluids administered by IV every other day. She has seizures that are controlled by medication. I'm hesitant to start a natural approach to her sinuses because of possible effects on her kidneys . any advise?

Rescued a pit bull at 2 months old that was already on doxy for what they considered a sinus issue. The minute she went off Doxy, at about 11 weeks, she got her first bout of emergency pneumonia. About $4500 later we got her back after two days on oxygen and antibiotics. So, she was on a couple of antibiotics, seemed perfectly healthy, went off antibiotics about 3 weeks from start, and regressed back to pneumonia. About $4000 (a bit cheaper) later we had her back, and they decided to run a lung rinse to see what parasites are going on (she was negative for all the usual suspects like distemper). They said that Doxy and Clavamox showed to work on what they found, so she went back on that. She got entirely better, then about a week later (off antibiotic) she started showing signs of regression. Typically she starts with a runny nose, clear. Then rough breathing through the nose. Runny nose become thicker and more yellow, then the infection seems to go down the lung. We got her in early and only paid about $1000 for early diagnosis and more medication. So, no more pneumonia, she is 11 months old, and has only spent about 25 days of her life off antibiotics. They can't figure out what is going on with her. Even when on heavy antibiotic now, she wakes up congested. After being awake for a while she clears. She will fire snot rockets out her left nasal passage. At this point, I've had the pet for 9 months and spent $16,000 about. I'd prefer not to spend any more. Any recommendations?
