My 9-year-old dog, Boomer, has been experiencing respiratory issues since May, including yellow nasal discharge, eye discharge, reverse sneezing, a hoarse cough, and patchy hair loss with scaly sores. He has been treated for aspiration pneumonia, tried various antihistamines, and had negative results on nasal washout, cytology, and PCR tests. He also has hypothyroidism, which is currently well-managed. What could be causing these persistent symptoms and what further tests or treatments should be considered?
