dont forget it could be from hay or pelletdust.. sometimes if i'm near the end of a bag of hay and it's dusty mrlicks will sneeze and snort up a storm!
 
Pasteurella is the one everyone worries about,but it can be treated with antibiotics. It is a chronic and contagiousproblem, though, and can make them quite sick or worse.

Allergies are quite a distinct possibility, and you may want to see ifchanging anything in her environment eliminates the problem. Hay is abig one, as was already mentioned. Pellets too.

There are other options, but those are two big ones. Vets don't usuallysuspect allergies, they jump right to pasteurella most of the time. Soit's good to know the other possibilities in advance before you talk toyour vet. I have had many frustrating conversations with vets on thissubject.

Keep an eye on her, of course, and you could always have thepasteurella test done (not the nasal one, I've heard--the bloodwork) ifyou would like to rule that out.
