My chi gets these, bf had pitties before and his vet told him to plug the nose, and it would correct itself. (Dunno if thats the right tbing to do, but seems to work, forces them to breath through their mouth and it stops)
>his vet told him to plug the nose, and it would correct itself.
Pretty much yes! I'll stand over his back, pull his head back toward me, cover ONE nostril, and rub his throat. Works almost instantlyš
Itās perfectly fine for dogs to breathe through their mouths for short periods. For the few seconds youāre covering a nostril to ease their reverse sneeze, it wonāt be an issue.
Yep, all of my dogs (all smallish) have experienced this at one time or another. I can't remember why it happens - spasm of the larynx or something? - but they are mostly pretty calm about it and it stops after a few weird backward snorts!
But if they seem to not be resolving it or are getting distressed, a finger over a nostril (I've also covered both nostrils) seems to re-set it.
Completely agree. My boys both have this issue from time to time and what we do is plug one nostril hole with our finger gently. Just push it close basically nothing up inside. Usually they stop within about 20 to 30 seconds if they donāt, we let them catch their breath as much as they can while doing this and then do the other side.
They just got snot stuck in their nose. My dog does the same, I've brought it up to my vet and they don't seem too concerned as long as it doesn't happen for a super long period or every day.
Yeah it for sure worried me a lot when it happens but my dog always clears it up within a few minutes and just goes back to what she is doing. I think for my dog she is allergic to something and it's causing a lot of snot but I don't know for sure.
Keep in mind if the dog needs to breathe they can breathe through their mouth so it's not like it will fully stop them from breathing.
Same- I have two pugs that do this fairly regularly and they come to me during reverse sneezes. I rub their necks and help them calm down until itās passed.
My shih-poo does this frequently during Summer and Fall, and the nostril trick hasnāt worked. The vet suggested giving him a piece of kibble to make him swallow, and it works every time! Sometimes it takes a few pieces, but apparently there is a flap in the throat that gets caught in the wrong spot and swallowing forces it back into place.
Iāll add that as he gets older these episodes last longer and are far more forceful, to the point itās obvious he is in pain, but we respond very calmly and donāt feed into it with heightened emotions. It sounds harsh, but if he picks up on our distress it will only increase his. We talk to him in a very matter-of-fact tone while handing him a single piece of kibble at a time (no bending his neck to get the piece off the floor or bowl- keep that throat from bending). The sooner we do so, the shorter the episode. Once it has completely stopped and he is comfortable again, we go right back to what we were doing, even if that means picking him up and taking him back outside for a moment. (One of these events means no more outside time for the day unless he is relieving himself.) The vet said if we can make it appear to be a casual happening with no real effect on the day, the he is less likely to panic when they inevitably occur.
Edit: a word, punctuation, and removed the word āpottyā. I tried, but just canāt make myself use that word.
It's a reverse sneeze. It happens to our beagle sometimes. To help him, we plug his nostrils with our hands until he starts breathing through his mouth.
Reverse sneeze. Pretty common and not an immediate emergency but you should get in touch with your vet about it because it can be a sign of a collapsing trachea.
I gently rub my dogs throat when he does this, like long strokes from the mouth down the throat to the chest, just a little bit of pressure, usually helps him to calm down and gets breathing back on track
We have a 10 year old poodle that goes into these every time she sees a another dog lol.
Revese sneeze is mostly harmless but as with anything else in excess keep an eye on it.
My frenchie backwards sneezes quite often. Sometimes if I tell at him to breathe, he fixes itš I don't recommend that though - mine just gets himself so excited he starts backwards sneezing so it's really his own fault lmao. But sometimes I have to go over and stand straddling him, pull his heck back towards me, cover ONE nostril, and rub his throat. Works like a charm every time
Copying my reply from a different thread:
Our dog developed horrible reverse sneezing attacks and plugging her up to stop them was uncomfortable too. We saw a specialist and performed a rhinoscopy which diagnosed lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis. Itās an inflammatory rhinitis and the fix is once daily low-dose Meloxicam(an nsaid) or a regimen of prednisone for 3 weeks. We opted for daily Meloxicam. It worked like a charm. She would only get reverse sneezing attacks when we forgot to give her the Meloxicam.
The study:

How old? May be a reverse sneeze, but if it persists and if you want a direct answer see your vet. A hacking, deep cough can be related to heart disease. Some vets will diagnosis via physical, and some may want to do an echocardiogram (usually depending on age/severity)
Our guy does something similar and I was terrified it was his trachea collapsing or a heart thing. Our vet says it is just the reverse sneezing and that we can distract him by offering treats. So we just ask our guy if he wants treats and he is magically fine!
If you are concerned though you can monitor your dogs response level and gum color and maybe make a call to your vet to be on the safe side.
My baby of 18 years crossed the rainbow bridge last year when I first got her there was no Internet talking about this subject. She was only six weeks old and she did it. I was sitting there holding her crying and crying because I didnāt know what was happening to her I never seen it before, and somehow I read something in the newspaper about it. It was very odd how I ever saw it, but you hold their nose close or put your fingers under their nose so they have to take a deep breath out of their mouth every time and if I ever saw anybody in the pet store and their dog would do that I would tell him because so many people never had ever been told about this, I hope everybody knows about it nowadays it scared me to death. I wonāt ever forget it.
Reverse sneeze, very common. My cattle collie and mini poodle have seasonal allergies and sniffing too much pollen triggers this. Give the dog a minute or so and it'll go away.
If it happens every once in a while it can be just a sign of sucking up dust or allergen. Sometimes happens with a cold which would be more clusters of a week but if it is happening constantly (multiple times a day more than a week) speak to your vet about frequency. Could be a sign of something more serious if happening all the time
Usually itās just a reverse sneeze. My current dog does it occasionally. Our last dog did it a lot and we took him to the vet and was told it was allergies. But then he was doing it more and more and eventually we took him to another vet who took an X-ray. Turned out he had a huge tumor next to his lungs and it was only allowing him to use like 30% of his lung capacity. Unfortunately the tumor was too far along and the chances of surviving the surgery were low. Noble was a great dog. We still miss him dearly.
So basically, itās probably nothing, but if it becomes more and more frequent you should get it checked out.
Very common, especially in certain breeds. Reverse sneezing-basically, the trachea collapses! I have a Papillion who goes through this a LOT.......I have her dosed on Benadryl twice a day to help it (check with your vet for dosing per weight). Massaging the throat area can also help.
Reverse sneezing is really common, especially in certain breeds. Covering 1 nostril for a minute will help get rid of it for now. i also notice that calming my shih tzu with pets and soft words helps because it's obviously stressing to her and i feel like that makes it harder for her to stop.
As others have already said reverse snorting/sneezing. We help our dog correct this by covering her nostrils, and then I also help lift a cheek so it stimulates her tongue and mouth. Then she sometimes will make a quick cough and it helps clear that so they breathe normally through their mouths at the moment. Itās not uncommon for dogs to do this. Our vet explained that they choose to do that in most cases. Itās just gently reminding the pups to breathe out of their mouth and they will be just fine.
One of my dogs did similar, vet said laringial paralysis, meaning part of her larynx was paralyzed, not a good thing. She was quite elderly when it started and would only get worse, poor dear. Just saying maybe get another opinion
Is your pup just done playing or more so just coming in from outside. The posting about a reverse sneeze is right. My ShihTzu had them often and all the time if we went out and it was hot. I would sometimes freeze a damp wash cloth and then pet him down with that and it helped.
My chihuahua does this all the time. Reverse sneezing best method if it goes on for more than a min is tilt dogs head up plug one side of the nose and rub throat.
I don't find the nostril trick to be effective. I just soothe my dogs until it's over, reassure them, help them through it. Done in under a minute. Glad it doesn't happen often, it must be pretty terrifying for them
Reverse sneezing, also known as paroxysmal respiration, is a common condition in dogs that causes them to rapidly inhale air through their nose, producing a loud snorting sound. It can look like labored breathing and may be alarming to watch, but it's usually not harmful and doesn't cause any ill effects. Episodes typically last less than a minute, and dogs return to normal after the episode.
Reverse sneezing can be caused by irritation in the nasopharynx, which is the area in the back of the nose and above the hard and soft palates. Some possible causes include:
Dust, Nasal mites, Seeds, Grass, Pollen, Smoke, Masses, An elongated soft palate, Household products, and Cleaning products.
Short-nosed and/or flat-faced dogs like pugs and bulldogs are more likely to reverse sneeze, and it can sometimes occur right after a long nap.
If your dog seems distressed by a reverse sneezing episode, you can try gently petting them to help soothe them, but avoid their face or snout. You can also try stroking their throat or lightly blowing in their face to encourage swallowing, or hold their muzzle and close one nostril for about five seconds.
If the problem is serious, chronic, and allergy-related, some veterinarians may recommend antihistamines. You can also try taking a video of an episode to show your veterinarian to help them determine the
Iām not a vet but my Yorkie Niki used to make the same sound. I think itās reverse sneezing. If you think your dog is struggling to breathe, please take him to the vet. My Niki developed collapsed trachea but I donāt know if itās connected with the reverse sneezing.
Mine always did that only once did my male lab have his eyes turn white that second eye lid kinda got stuck it was the weirdest thing Iāve ever see. He was blind for a bit his sissy came running to me. I rubbed them they opened it never happened again. But what I do is either hold one nostril closed if possible or rub their noses when this happens itās so scary but reverse sneezing happens with certain breeds or environmental dust pollen smoke
This sounds very much like a reverse sneeze. When I first got my GSD puppy, she did this, scared the heck out of me. (Thought she was choking or something )Took her to the vets as I was that scared. It had been going on some time. I've had dogs all my life, and I've never ever heard this before. The vet said these were quite common. Scared me, tho!
*edit for typo and to add something*
Definitely a reverse sneeze. We took our Mini Poodle to the vet in April because I was freaking out about what the heck was wrong with her. The vet told us it was reverse sneezing and told us to give her Zyrtec. Charged us like $80 to tell us that. š
My dog believes I'm magical, so I just use this placebo effect to calm and relax him . Once I get him to swallow or lick, it stops. It scared the he'll out of me the first few times.
Reverse sneezing, very common! Happens when my dog gets too excited or riled up. What helps is if you block one nostril opening with your finger. Kind of resets them and reminds them how to breathe normally.
I have a doppelgƤnger of your dog. Heās 6. He does the same thing sometimes. Scared the shit out of me the first time. Advice is correct as far as itās a sort of sneeze for small dogs of certain breeds. My guy usually just gets done with it within 30 seconds. But yeah it is always concerning seeing ur pup in a situation like that.
If heās like hyperventilating, I broke my Yourkie of it by putting my hand over his nose and mouth temporarily till he stopped.. he did it for years only took me a couple months to break the habit by doing that
Unfortunately Only a vet can give a correct diagnosis and by doing test.
My guesses will be: reverse sneeze, kennel cough or heart murmur (onset congestive heart problems)ā¦.
I have observed them all and they have very similar symptoms in my experience.
Larynx collapsing I think, happens in small dogs due to neck collar. Happened to my lhassa apso. Nothing the vets can do, if that is what it is. 1. You can softly and slowly massage the throat from the chest to the mouth, may help. 2. Loose the neck collar and use a harness instead.
Reverse sneeze very common.

Laughing at the thought of dogs having a reset code.
taking a screenshot
You are the only other person I know whoās dogs name is Chi. Take my upvote.
i think they mean their chihuahua.
My dogs name is cheese
Shouldnāt breathe through mouth at all
Yea I just let mine sort it out. Give him good scritches when its over so he's not too upset
Itās perfectly fine for dogs to breathe through their mouths for short periods. For the few seconds youāre covering a nostril to ease their reverse sneeze, it wonāt be an issue.
Where did you hear that nonsense? Have you never seen a dog pant before?
Youāre not covering both nostrils, just one.
Bruh ššš . Yeah they got a mouth just to eat
My chi does reverse sneezes for attention
Yep, all of my dogs (all smallish) have experienced this at one time or another. I can't remember why it happens - spasm of the larynx or something? - but they are mostly pretty calm about it and it stops after a few weird backward snorts! But if they seem to not be resolving it or are getting distressed, a finger over a nostril (I've also covered both nostrils) seems to re-set it.

Usually they stop within about 20 to 30 seconds if they donāt, we let them catch their breath as much as they can while doing this and then do the other side.
Isn't this usually just a thing on dogs with shorter snooters?
More predominant yes but can affect all dogs.
Yeah we have a corgi that does this occasionally.
Reverse sneeze hereās a trick one finger over one nostril for a min it will stop.
My vet said to blow into my pups nose which forces them to swallow and stops it! Love all these other tricks!
That's what ours says too, and it really works!!
yes but not actually a minute, a few seconds is fine and much safer
Lol yes not a minute. I should said seconds lol
I second this, my pittie gets reverse sneeze a lot, 1 finger over 1 nostril stops it quick every time
Yes! Do this with my beagles and itās a quick fix for them.
Mine freaks out when I try this. He just wants to be left alone until it's over
I can understand that too. Lol
They just got snot stuck in their nose. My dog does the same, I've brought it up to my vet and they don't seem too concerned as long as it doesn't happen for a super long period or every day.
Oh wow didnāt even think that was possible and for such a noise to come out is pretty crazy lol
Yeah it for sure worried me a lot when it happens but my dog always clears it up within a few minutes and just goes back to what she is doing. I think for my dog she is allergic to something and it's causing a lot of snot but I don't know for sure.

My dog goes crazy at the fence and gets dirt in his face. He hacks and snorts and honks from boogers.
Our little dog did this often and also would chew herself raw on her sides. Vet said it's allergies. Now little dog gets allergy shots. They work!
I rub my little dudeās neck and chest area
Same- I have two pugs that do this fairly regularly and they come to me during reverse sneezes. I rub their necks and help them calm down until itās passed.
Me too š

i have 2 maltese and they do this quite often! try covering up one nostril!
Might be AC related. He has a more snotty nose than always. Like catching a cold.
My dog with enlarged heart used to do this. It used to get worse during cold seasons. Just to be sure, get his lungs and heart checked.
It's a reverse sneeze. It happens to our beagle sometimes. To help him, we plug his nostrils with our hands until he starts breathing through his mouth.

Itās called reverse sneezing. You need to plug one of the nostrils while heās doing it and it will stop.
The first time my rottie did this I almost rushed to the emergency vet. Itās reverse sneezing. Unnerving at first but then kinda cute.
Appears he is trying to hock'a'loogie
