My dog is sneezing a lot.

Question
My 11 year old Husky/Shepard continuously sneezing but only when he's standing. When he lays down he's normal and also whenever he's eating, drinking, or being pet there is no sneezing.
I'm not sure if it caused anything but we noticed it after he was near a lit candle. The candle is not lit now but sneezing still occurring for over a day.

Answer
Hard to say what this could be, but I would take him in for a check up if he doesn't stop sneezing by tomorrow. He might have something up his nose totally unrelated to the candle.

Or it might have just irritated his nostrils really bad. Continuous sneezing, however, is usually a sign of a foreign object up inside the nose.

That is why he needs to see a vet if it doesn't stop by tomorrow.
