I'm not sure if it's the onset of Spring, or the extreme dust in the house from renovations; but lately, Elli has developed a case of constant sneezing. She has even been goose-honking on a daily basis, which is something she would normally only do maybe once a month. If you have ever heard a dog goose-honking, or reverse-sneezing, you know it's not a pleasant sound or sight.
At this point, I'm not sure if there is anything I can do for her except clean the house as much as possible. Since she has never had these symptoms in previous years, I'm hoping that it is just the dust in the house and not Spring allergies. The dust will eventually go away, but Spring comes every year. Although, if it is just an allergy problem it's something we can live with, and be thankful it's not something more serious.
The other difficult thing with dogs and allergies is that it's difficult to determine exactly what is causing the allergy. This makes finding a solution complicated.
I guess I will be doing a thorough Spring cleaning over the next few weeks to keep poor Elli healthy and happy.
