i have an 8 year old girl holland lop who is spayed. she has never had a single health problem, and previously i had noticed her sneezing literally once every 4-6 months. then about probably 2 months ago at this point or more, she started sneezing occassionally, then it got a little more, and her eyes were a little wet everyday. we took her to the vet, he checked her out and gave us i think an oral antibiotic for twice a day for 2 weeks. he said her overall status was fine and didnt have any breathing/lung issues. all through this she has been eating and drinking basically normally. the 2 weeks of medicine had zero effect, and now her eyes are a little more wet, not horrible, but wetter than previously. her nose has never had any discharge at all, either before or after the medicine. the thing that has progressed is that sometimes after she sneezes she goes to the bathroom sort of a little bit, either #1 or #2, and does this wherever she is, even outside her cage, which she has never done. also on the shelf in her cage where she normally sits, so this is getting her back end a little bit matted but its not that bad. but then ive sort of noticed that her area under her tail seems to be sort of swollen. i dont know why this would have a relation to her sneezing, unless her bum area is just sort of irritated from this going to the bathroom after sneezing.
the only other difference from normal is that sometimes after she sneezes she seems a little stunned. but shes still eating and drinking normally and is not really extremely sluggish overall, she stiil goes to play with some toys a couple times and day and works on destroying boxes and stuff.
im going to have to call the vet again for another appointment but does anyone on here have any ideas about this or has seen it before? ive looked up stuff about it but usually when it involves sneezing they mention a runny nose, which she doesnt have, and i havent seen anything about abnormal bathrooming in relation to sneezing. thanks!
