How to tell the difference between an allergy or URI

I'm having trouble figuring out why my mouse is sneezing. She's over 2 years old, and has recently started consistently sneezing. There haven't been any changes to her diet or enclosure, and none of the other mice that live with her are sneezing, or showing any symptoms of a respiratory infection. I can't tell if it's just an allergy, or something I need to get looked at by a vet. I have videos of it, but I'm not sure how to post them here.

She could just be becoming more sensitive to any dust or strong scents. A vet would be able to listen to her lungs and tell you if she seems to have an infection, if you’re worried, but I would personally just try to identify and eliminate anything that might be irritating her and keep an eye on it.

To share a video, you have to upload it to somewhere like YouTube and then link it. There’s even a nifty YouTube embedder thingy in the toolbar.
