Joan of Arc Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Active Manuka Honey - an all round healer. Certainly worth a try. Sorry that's my only suggestion as I have never seen this before. Edited June 22, 2010 by mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Does she have an ear infection or dark brown discharge from the ear as well? I have had toys for most of my life and have never come across or heard of this. So very interested to hear how she progresses. Has the vet sent you to a specialist to be looked into further?

No discharge or ear infection..is totally happy & well when she is not sneezing ..nose must be painful at times as she rubs it against things or paws at it ..am going to check with vet if Sinonasal Aspergillosis has been ruled out with nasal swab ..has been mentioned to me by DOLer in heath section where I also posted ..If no improvement soon will take her to Townsville Vet Uni for more checks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneezes less than she used to ..still reverse sneezes but only during activity. Please has anyone had this happen to their dog and did it eventually clear up ?? any suggestions welcome Not sure this is of any help. Did they check for Tonsillitis also, I had a boy (Rottweiler) with Tonsillitis and he had a smell from his nose and his thoat seemed to close up when excited/hot etc, AB didn't really work so we had the tonsils out after trying everything else and he hasn't had a problem since, I did also change his food to a sensitive skin and stomach and left him on it, along with raw as he does really well on it. When you opened his mouth wide and looked down his throat you could see a whitish kind of mucus. At the time he didn't seem to act sick in any other way but when they were out you could tell the difference he was much brighter. He recovered really quickly and didn't go off his food at all. I didn't even know they got tonsillitis, I felt like i had a 5 year old child, but our vet said they see it a bit but most often in shelties. Another thing that can cause a smell is the Adenoids but I am told they don't normally remove these in dogs as it is a much harder operation. Good luck with your girl Cheers Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your girl Cheers Lee Thanks Lee ..Had asked the vet about removing her tonsils as on the first examination while asleep had said sinus & tonsils inflamed ..Vet said tonsils would only be secondary infection & needed to get sinus infection sorted out ??
