alright the problem has been going on for 2 weeks. it began with coughing then her neck swelled up like balloon. and now she is having sneezing fits (her head violently shakes and blood comes out of her nose as this happens,they are so harsh that she bangs her head off the ground{she has no skin under her nose from this} she also has cuts on her tounge) they have gotten so bad that we have to hold her head so she doesnt hurt herself during an episode. they seem to happen early in the morning and late at night as well as when she gets excited. We have teken her to the vet. we had her xrayed and it showed air in her neck(the idea of a puncture wound was proposed) we were then sent to a neurologist. where she had rhino-exploritory surgery. they found nothing other than discharge in her nasal passage. and they still dont know whats causing this. CAN SOMEONE HELP US?

Poor girl...do you live anywhere near a university with a good vet program? For example, I live not too far from the University of California at Davis where a terrific vet program exists and we can take difficult to diagnose problems there.
There are people on this site who have some expertise and perhaps some advice and I'm sure they will offer what they can so please check back. I feel for you and your girl.

If that were my dog I'd go for a CT scan.
