| Honking? Illy is almost 2 1/2 now and for most of her life she "honks" when she gets overly excited. Is this a normal thing or is something wrong? Does anyone elses little ones do this?

| This sounds like reverse sneezing. Jake does it when he gets excited too, and he did it at the vet's, and that's what he said it is.

| i think that's a collapsed trachea (also known as reverse sneezing). it sounds worse than it is... my parents' yorkie honks when she gets too excited. but my Kash doesn't honk at all. my parents blow on her face to help her, but i don't think that works as well as just trying to calm her down. here's a website about it: Yorkie Medical Information. thanks!

Other signs, however, will help you distinguish the two conditions: If it makes these sounds when excited or after eating or drinking, or turns her elbows outward and extends its neck and gasps inward with a rhythmic snork! snork! snork!, this is reverse sneezing. If it breathes through the mouth sometimes, or breathes with a raspy sound, or coughs reflexively when you simply rub its throat, it could have a collapsing trachea. If the cough is one or two expulsive outward bursts (forcing air through the trachea to open it), typically with a gag or empty retch at the end, she could have a collapsing trachea.

| Tino reverse sneezes after he drinks water too fast. As soon as he starts doing it he "assumes the position" by taking a wide stance and and looks at me to come over and hold his little nose shut so he will start to breathe slowly again. He knows Mommy can "fix it".

| I have a friend who has a small Yorkie that sounds like a oinking pig when she gets excited. Could this the same thing ya'll are talking about? Abbey is sooo cute and I call her "Miss Piggy" cuz of the sound she makes, but if it could be a serious problem....I'd feel horrible.

| Hello I'm kind of lurking because I wanted to come on over and talk to people who are having problems with their little dogs coughing, honking etc. When they are young, its okay, because, well they're young. As they age, and this cough (honk) continues, it leads to a collapsed trachea. That cough weakens the C rings. Once that material becomes flimsy...then it collapses and becomes a breeding ground for infection. I work with young dogs and old dogs. It is much easier to get rid of this cough when the dogs are young...then after they're old and there has been so much damage that the cough can't be stopped. Surgery is an option, but it costs $5,000. You wonder where does this cough come from? My opinion I think its the shots. Thats a different discussion. None the less... I work with little dogs...I'm a pet herbalist, and this is a disease that I have been making herbal formulas to help heal the cough. I have been doing it for little dogs for two years now, and I'm getting ready to try and sell it to vets. I'm a human acupuncturist that go into animals... Its important that this cough not go on long term....because eventually there will be a collapsed trachea. If you have questions, feel free to ask. |

| No, that is the best way to explain the reverse sneeze sound...like a piggie or goose! Quote:

| I am pretty sure that reverse sneezing and collapsed trachea are two very different issues. Quote:
