Thanks so much!
I think you may be correct, as many other posts, we have take our dog Roxy to two different vets, with no clear diagnosis. She was on cyclocillin? its a strong antibiotic, as she had what sounded like fluid around her heart and lungs. this helped with the excess fluid but the symtoms persist. One other thing she began having runny eyes at the same time, which follows your diagnosis. Again thanks! now off to find a solution!
Many things can be the cause and breed and age of dog can help as some breeds are more likely to suffer from post nasal drip. Acid reflux will cause nose or air licking and licking the ground, tooth/gum disease or mouth problems like a splinter can as well.
Bacterial infections can cause the same symptom. If there are other symptoms like joint pain eye discharge, rapid breathing I would look at tick induced problems like ehrlichsiosis, lyme disease and anaplasmosis.
My dog has bad reverse sneezez,and hard swallowing, it makes me think there is a hair stuck in his throat. But then, he will lick up and eat anything he can find. Hair, fuzzies, cardboard, he will try to swallow blankets, rip and swallow sheet strips whole. Last nite i pulled a foot long strip out of his throat, still attached to the sheet, he was ripping n swallowing as much as he could, he also puked up two very big hair balls. He only does this once in a while. Maybe once in 2 or 3 months. I just dont understand why. I put him in his kennel with nothing else. No fuzzies, not one hair if i can. Then i give him 1 tums, and wait till he is done. 30 min to 1 hr. This happens even after he has eaten. Anyone know why this happens to him?
