🀧 Sudden Sneezing Fit? It Could Be More Than Allergies.

If your dog suddenly starts sneezing violently, pawing at their nose, or develops nasal discharge after being outside, it may be a sign of a nasal foreign bodyβ€”such as a foxtail or grass awn lodged in the nasal passage.

While some sneezing is harmless, persistent or severe sneezing, especially when accompanied by bleeding or difficulty breathing, should never be ignored.
