Question
my T cup Poodle has a bad breathing problem
she does this mostly when she is left at home
she really sound terrible ,I rushed her to the
Vet. She had a fever he gave her a shot and Clavamox drops-He calls this a inward sneese
will the shots and the Clavamox take care of this?-No heart worm -up to date on shots? I am
afraid we have missed something.


Answer
Hi Grace!

Inward or reverse sneezing is NOT a problem. Instead of sneezing out, some sneeze in. MANY dogs do this for attetion too.

I am surprised your vet slapped her on antibiotics if there was not green/yellow discharge from the nose.  Also, what was the shot?

If you want to investigate this further ask for nasal radiographs. :)
