Poor little jill! They're so pitiful when they have these kind of
sneezing fits.
If you haven't already done this, try really looking at her nostrils
closely and in great detail. Like scruff her and inspect her nose
under a bright light, preferably with a magnifying glass. I've had
one or two over the years get verrrry fine, nearly invisible hairs
stuck up in there and this has resulted in these attacks. It's
extremely gratifying when you can pull a hair out of a weasel nose and
fix the problem.
I also had another one years ago who had these fits -- the worse ones
ever. Huge fits every hour or so. I couldn't see anything, and my
vet used a tiny, tiny endoscope to look up there. There was a lot of
scabbing in one of her nostrils, some of which my vet was able to
extract. For the rest, I kept her in a humidified room and gave her
lubricated eye drops in that side of her nose to keep the gunk soft.
She eventually must have sneezed it all out because she did get
better...
Good luck, keep us posted!
