Snowball has a runny nose & is sneezing a lot don't want
to give her any asprine she has no fever. she is still
eating & drinking plenty of water. Is there anything I can
do for her she has been this way for 6 days
Pat 6 days sounds awfully long for a cold. They usually
shake them off in a day or two. If it's just sneezing I
would consider allergy. Is she near an open window? The
pollen counts in the northeast have been extremely high.
Have you changed laundry detergents, fabric softner or
perfume or lotion? You might want to talk to your vet
about a trial of benedryl to see if that helps. And, yes a
vet visit is called for. In the meantime a warm, moist
washcloth applied to the snout will help break up any
crusts and let her breath more easily.
Good luck!
