Snuffles or an allergy?

Hi :)
I'm quite concerned as Buster has been sneezing quite a lot since last night. I know this can be a sign of teeth problems but he shouldn't really need them doing for another couple of months and he isn't dribbling yet.
On friday I changed his bedding to Pets at Home Lavender Scented woodshavings - do you think he might be allergic? He used to have just regular woodchips. His nose doesn't look wet. I change his litter tray every morning and night too. Or could it be snuffles?
 
Difficult to say really - the easiest thing to do would be to remove the lavender woodshavings and put back the ones you were using previously, and seeing if it stops :)
 
Done that but he is out and about at the moment! If I were to wait and it is Snuffles would it get worse quickly?
Edit: Still sneezing and off his food now :( off to the vets today

Update

Argh!!!
Ok... just got back from the vets (my regular, super vet) and Buster needs his teeth doing AGAIN! :shock:
I'm sure it has only been about a month when usually he goes every 4 months. I didn't see my usual vet last time for Buster's consultation but was told that my vet would be doing the op. So today when I asked him he said he didn't see Buster last time at all and someone else did the op :evil:
Originally when I joined here my first post was about being worried about Bust having such a bad reaction to the GA. Now I think this other vet that operated has just made a huge mess of everything. And I'm blaming myself even more because obviously Bust hasn't been 100% for ages and I've overlooked it :cry:
So Bust is off to hospital again first thing in the morning poor baby :(
 
Bless its my girls dental tomorrow also so fingers crossed for both. Shes the one with denatl disease so she has to go every few months. Her eye has been playing up quite bad lately so we knew it was time but she had just had vhd inj so our vet wouldn't touch her for good few weeks bless

You can't use wood shaving. The fine powder of the wood go into the nose. Further, prolong, long term breathing of those wood powder can cause respiratory problem or cancer.

Get rid of it, use something else. I just use towel in my house
