My dog's nose is blocked and she struggles to breathe. What can I do?

Your dog may be suffering from severe allergies affecting his upper airways, or an upper respiratory infection caused by bacteria, a virus or a fungus. I strongly recommend you make an appointment with your veterinarian for an exam and appropriate treatment.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Based on your description i would suspect these symptoms could be due to an allergy, upper respiratory infection, dental disease, nasal foreign body or tumor. I would treat this as an allergy or respiratory infection amd place her in the bathroom with the hot water running so that she is in the steam to help relieve any congestion. If this does not help, I would recommend bringing her in to a veterinarian so that the most appropriate treatment can be recommended. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Oh no, poor Buddy! This could be caused by an upper respiratory infection, fungal infection, foreign body, or a nasal tumor if he is an older dog. You can try putting him in a room with a humidifier, or brining him into the bathroom with you when you take a shower. The steam from these may help temporarily relieve any congestion he is experiencing. I would have Buddy seen by a vet in the morning . The vet can diagnose what is causing his difficulty with breathing through his nose, and can discuss treatment options with you.

Given that the antibiotics are not working, I would speak to your vet about further testing on Mya. It could be caused by allergies, and blood tests and intradermal skin tests can be done to see if that is causing her symptoms. It does need to be diagnosed so that she can be successfully treated to relieve her symptoms.

If you want to share a video, you can request a consult with an expert online and share it that way. It sounds like Moka may be congested, and it could be she has a problem like a respiratory infection or heart disease causing this breathing issue. I recommend a vet visit for a health check today or tomorrow. Best of luck.

Poor Echo. She needs to see a vet to get medications to treat her symptoms. I would take her into a vet first thing in the morning. Tonight, take her into the bathroom with you when you take a shower. The steam may temporarily help with her congestion. Best of luck.

You could put him in a steamy bathroom or a room with a humidifier/vaporizer and see if that helps moisten any secretions and relieve the congestion. You could also try a saline nasal spray. Otherwise, he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. He may need an antibiotic and/or other medications and your vet can prescribe.
