| If he's doing what they call "reverse sneezing" -- it sounds like they're having a honking asthmatic attack -- but it lasts for a short time, and then they're over it ----and it doesn't hurt them a bit. This is especially common with smaller breeds. Mine all do it. They especially do it if they get excited. But like I said - it doesn't last long - and it's harmless. Carol Jean |

| I'd get him rechecked, or even get a second vet to look at him. He could be suffering with a respiratory infection that could get worse if not treated. Luna had one when we got her, I thought she might have collapsing trachea, but it was just an infection that went away with antibiotics (Clavamox) Good luck and keep us posted on your little one

Hi, I agree its always better safe than sorry. Kikko was making horrible coughing noises and he ended up having a collapsed trachea. I have put a video of what he sounded like that night, so that you can hear how one case sounds like. But there are always varying degrees of severity. Mine is pretty bad b/c he had pneumonia and born with a small trachea already. I hope it helps. http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...1&ctime=144216 I really hope its nothing but if not, you can find lots and lots of info by doing a search for 'collapse trachea'. everyone here are very willing to help with any info. | |
