puppy allergies??

mrshanson · Jan 25, 2015

Some things I have noticed over the past few days are: she's sneezing from time to time, sort of has a runny nose here and there, occasionally sounds like she's got boogers in her nose when have breathes (like a little wheeze?) She keeps biting at her legs but I don't see any fleas? She's been home a week and a half and I have her on taste of the wild puppy kibble, she has a vet appointment in a few weeks but should i consider changing her food?

She eats, sleeps, poops, plays normal.

Am I just an over-paranoid New mom?

Our vet said sneezing/wheezing is a sign of an upper respiratory infection. Id prob call the vet & voice my concerns & see if they think they should see her sooner than not.

Clearly that's the most extreme outcome lol, it could be change of environment? Do you burn candles or spray air freshener? Do you have carpet? There are a lot of other smaller factors too, but yeah I would definitely just call & be safe!

I agree with everyone else that I would take her just to be safe. I wouldn't change her food just yet. She can be allergic to many things. One thing that bothers dogs a lot are things that some people spray or put on their carpets too. Stuff like carpet fresh. I just figured since you mentioned carpet, that I would mention that.

No carpet sprays or powders here

and I run two hepa air filters already for my own dust allergies in my apartment
