poodle sneezing

Question
My two year old toy poodle, Tattoo, has recently started having sneezing fits.  She has clear discharge from her nose, but the antihistmines prescribed by the vet had no effect.  She all her shots.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Sounds like she has an upper respiritory infection.  I would take her in and have the vet look at it again.  Tell him the drugs he gave you didnt work.  I would wonder if she maybe having a bit of kennel cough.  Sometimes they will sneeze instead of coughing.  I would ask the vet about antibiotics.  If it is a respritory problem if you let it go too long it can develop into pneumonia.
