It could be something very mild like allergies or the congested sneezing coughing could be a red flag of something more sinister. Please (for my sanity) take Dozer in to be checked out...something that initally seems small and innocent can nose dive into something scary (like pnuemonia) in no time flat. I'm sorry to be alarmist, but I just don't anything to happen to your sweet boy!

I totally agree. I had to

I totally agree. I had to learn this the hard way and it ended up turning into a very serious case of pneumonia. It's way better to catch it sooner than later!

My Boss Man was the same way for 3 days before I took him to the vet and it tuned out to be "walking pneumonia"... and pneumonia isn't good for any dog, especially bullies!

They don't get human colds, but they do get dog colds including something called Kennel Cough. It's like a cold. I hope your bullie doesn't have that because it's not fun. It's not dangerous though.
