    Riley is snuffling and sneezing. It's like he's got something up his nose except it's been going on since Saturday :(

    Have kept him off school today and will head to the vet if it doesn't sort itself out soon.

    Any advice?

    Kennel cough possibly? It seems to be rife at the moment.

    Think it must be....no actual cough but very sniffly....unless there's a Clumber hair up there ;)

    If it's kennel cough then no picking up for us on Saturday :( disappointed but there'll be more days.
    Had a warm bird from our trainer as a get well present so did some VERY short retrieves in the garden to see if he likes his birds warm......labrador heaven!!!! ;D

    And double bonus, went to class to watch and got handed awesome, open standard lab to handle for the lesson ;D the really funny thing is that the dog may do what it's told but you don't half have to keep your brain in gear to have a plan and stay on top of the dog :eek:

    Poor Riley. I hope he's feeling better soon. I bet the warm bird helped take his mind off it. :)

    Just shows doesn't it....it sounds as tricky to get a dog who knows what it's doing to do it as it does to get a dog that's just learning...well done though and fab experience

    Sorry about Riley ,hope it's not going to linger and he's not too miserable with it? Big chin chuck to him from me xxx

    Yup exactly!!! It was cool though 8)

    Riley doesn't really know he's poorly. I just don't want to spread it around or over exercise him while there's something wrong with his breathing.

    Thanks everyone, probably a vet visit tomorrow to double check and see if they think he's coldy or if he's got something up his schnozz :)

    Sounds a bit like the kennel cough mine had, they just sneezed occasionally!

    Yes Stacia, that's what made me think he was poorly instead of just something up his nose.....that and it lasting into a 3rd day.

    I'm sure he'll be fine, keeping a close eye on the pup though :)
