Hi!
My girl, Twix, has been sneezing recently and the vet is baffled.
It started a few weeks ago, as soon as she got out onto the lawn she would sneeze, sometimes just the once, sometimes three or four times in a row. Sometimes the sneeze sounds more like a cough, sort of a grunt and a sneeze. Recently her nose has been a little wet when she's nudged my hand. She drinks from a bottle not a water bowl and her housing is dry. Her behaviour is normal, she's active and playful and she's eating and pooping well.
I took her in to the vets yesterday for a health check. Everything was fine, her nasal passages are not obstructed, her teeth are OK, her eyes are clean and bright, her ears look fine too. She appears to be perfectly healthy. The vet didn't know what to suggest other than to keep an eye on her.
I wondered if the dust from the horse sized bag of Readigrass I bought could be irritating her nose but the vet said that wouldn't explain why she sneezes when she's out on the lawn. It's really quite odd. She lives with Edward in a large hutch which is permanently attached to a run via a pipe connector. Every morning I let them both out onto the lawn for a play and to eat the grass and as soon as Twix gets outside she sneezes.
Does any have any ideas what could be making her sneeze?
Thanks!
Clair
