my dog has such bad allergies that she sneezes until her nose bleeds. i have taken her to the vet several times and he has given her steroid shots and steriod pills. after several months of this process her breathing and sneezing became worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? she weighs about 21 pounds and is a pound puppy so i don't know her exact breed...age approx. 9 years old. thanks~puttputt's mommy

When your dog has her teeth cleaned, make sure that the vet checks for any spaces around the teeth. Sometimes something called an oral-nasal fistula can develop. This can lead to chronic sinus infections, and cause a bloody nose. Also, having the nasal passages checked for any growths, is a good idea. Unless you haven't told your vet that the dog isn't better, maybe it's time to change vets.

Look in your area for a dog dermatoligist. I had ten vet vists, and over a thousand dollars in my dog before I was finally recomended to one. In my case the steroids seem to help at first then he got much worse. The dog dermitoligist told me the steroids were making him worse. My dog didn't have a bleeding nose. He was losing hair and scratching till he was bleeding. Good luck.
