| Sneezing/Reverse Sneezing makes a former large dog owner very nervous... I KNOW what Sheldon is doing is simply a reverse sneeze. I know it is, but I HATE it. Lol. Being a former large dog owner, it was never really a common thing, and he does it a lot when we play. I can tell by everything else that, as of right now, my pup is very healthy...but will I get used to this reverse sneezing thing? I get tense every time he does it... |

| Sort of not really... I still get bothered a bit. Especially if it lasts a while. One thing I do is rub their throat gently hoping it'll relax the muscles there and help. |

| His never really last more than a few seconds, but it makes me crazy! I have done the throat rub, and blowing gently on his face seems to help as well. |

| Don't mean to scare you but as a he is still a young puppy, I would ask my vet if it could be kennel cough. Always better to err on the safe side.

| He goes to the vet this week, and he went last week. I know for certain it is not kennel cough. It's not a cough, not even close. I've heard Bordatella, this isn't it. |

| Bobbi, can you video it? I've not heard of a young pup having this as described, it seems unusual. A video might help. Also is it at a certain time or activity?

| Lexi only reverse sneezes after drinking a lot of water really fast. I hate it too, even though I know it's not a serious issue. |

| Play time, more than anything. I'll try to get a video, though it generally only lasts a second or two, and it's not full on. It's almost as if a normal sneeze turns into a small snort, then he stops. |

| Also, everything I have read has said that reverse sneezing starting young is normal, as where sudden onset later is more cause for concern? |

The last 2 days, Max was having reverse sneezing fits that started after a trip to the park where many dogs walk. I was concerned about kennel cough, but now he is better. I think he inhaled something and got a nose/throat irritation.

| Laddy reverse sneezes after he drinks but he didn't start till he was well over a year old. Thankfully Kyra doesn't do this.

| When Mia gets really excited, she does the reverse sneeze. I have found a little technique that helps her stop it quickly, and she will come to me or DH for help when it starts. LOL. Knowing what it is, even when harmless, doesn't make it something you want to see your baby going through.

Doodlebug and Bogey will occasionally reverse sneeze and I usually grab them around their muzzle and blow into their nose. But this never happens during playtime
