Expert Answer

Frequent sneezing can be physiological or pathological. Physiological causes are usually odor or foreign-object irritation—check the nose for hair or sand; if none, it may be perfume, disinfectant, insecticide, or air freshener smells at home.

Pathological causes are usually a cold from a weather change or a chill during bathing, showing sneezing and nasal discharge from an upper respiratory infection; give pet cold medicine and anti-inflammatories.
