Hardee sneezes quite a bit, a symptom of the tumor, but today he had a sneezing fit that went on and on and on. He sneezed well over 50 times. As I followed him around trying to wipe up what was coming out of his nose with each sneeze, I called Jim so he could hear what was going on. I tried to play with Hardee and distract him with a toy to see if I could stop the sneezing to no avail.
Usually this type of sneezing would set off a bleed, so I felt like I was holding my breath for quite some time waiting to see if the blood would come. It never did, thank goodness, but the nasal discharge being sneezed out was blood tinged.
As the day progressed, HH kept crinkling up his nose and lifting his lip like he was going to sneeze again, but the sneeze never came. Something inside his nose is bothering him, and he's been rubbing his face, both sides, on the sofa edge. I don't know what to think of this. He has settled down this evening, finally.
This increased sneezing accompanied by the increased nasal discharge has me distressed. It is still all about joy and all about Hardee, just accompanied with more worry than usual. Please, keep the faith for us.
Handsome Hardee
We are a patriotic family!

Just thought you might find this inspirational - Angie Benacquisto's rat terrier Dylan has been battle lymphoma since last year. She is currently undergoing chemo, and last week was in her second or third week of an aggressive chemo series. This past weekend, Angie and Dylan placed second in the AKC Agility Nationals. Keep the faith. Here is the video of Dylan and Angie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsNjkJbVNnc&feature=channel_video_title
