Coughing sneezing cough sneeze allergy small dog

My dog been doing this for 1 year since Summer...
Visit the vet 4 times, they all say it is allergy.
Tried different allergy medicine but didn't work.
My dog eats well, plays well, behaves the same except this coughing/sneezing sign.

Can someone tell me what is this??

Someone told me it could be heart worm which I dont think so...

Hi j2xa,

Thank you for your post. My dog still has this symptom from time to time. Brought him to vet 4 times in 2 yrs with no new discovery of what is causing this. His heart beat is normal and so are his internal organs. However, non of the vet suggested X-ray. No idea why but he is still healthy, happy and eating well.

I know this is pretty old, but my dog has been doing much the same for around a year too. We've also tried allergy medicines, heartworm screening and antibiotics to no avail. No one seems to know what it is....

APirateHooker,

thank you so much for your reply. I felt hopeless sometimes seeing my doggy doing that. It's been 1.5 yrs he has been doing this but he is still healthy and energetic. I guess as they get older, it might just be a permanent thing that stays. I hope your doggy is doing well. :)

I know this post is pretty old now but if you still don't have a solution it could be caused by an enlarged heart. This is more common in small breeds
