MY small dog 20 lbs 10 months old has started snorting as if she is trying to clear her nose This can go on for about 15 seconds and just Is this an allergic reaction A cold?

Snorting in dogs can be a sign of several different medical conditions, including:

- Allergies

- Colds

- Nasal foreign body

- Nasal tumors

- Upper respiratory infection

If your dog's snorting is accompanied by any other symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, or discharge from the nose or eyes, it is important to take her to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.

Here are some things you can do to help your dog if she is snorting:

- Keep her environment clean and free of allergens, such as dust, pollen, and smoke.

- Avoid exposing her to irritants, such as perfumes and cleaning products.

- Use a humidifier to keep the air in your home moist.

- Give her plenty of fluids to drink.

- If your dog is snorting excessively, you can try giving her a nasal decongestant, such as phenylephrine or oxymetazoline, but only use these medications under the direction of a veterinarian.
