Common Cold?

Question:
I've had my yorkie,Gizmo, for almost three months. Keeping up with him is a job within itself, but when he starts to sneeze ( backwards), it worries me. It sounds as if he's congested at times, with a "wet" sneeze. I've seen white/clear mucous one time, how worried should I be.

Answer:
The good ol' reverse sneeze. Very common in small breeds and seen in large ones too. Even more common in puppies.

Most are not affected by this at all...owners are the most affected because of their concern.

If the dog has a thick, gross discharge from the nose I would worry and only then.

My 85 # Rotti was famous for the reverse sneeze as a puppy and she still will have a rouge one about twice a year, no worse for wear.
By all means if your dog shows signs of adr, (ain't doing right), a vet visit is in your future.
