| My 2 year old Yorkie is honking! My 2 year old Yorkie has always had these episodes of honking. Maybe once every other month or so for just a few seconds. Nothing that caused me any real concern. So rare I have forgotten to mention it to his vet. Tonight is a different story. He is doing it over and over. It's not Kennel Cough I know what that is. He has not had a collar around his neck or any pressure on his neck. He has not been around any other dogs. And he does not eat raw hide or any other bones. He is honking almost like a cat with a hair ball but nothing is coming up. He has been doing this for about 3 hours now on and off. Please Help!! Thank you! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Have you ever heard of reverse sneezing? It's harmess, and it sounds what you might be experiencing. You might try searching for that term here (click on the search button) and on google. My vet told me that reverse sneezing symptoms differ from collapsed trachea symptoms in the direction the air is traveling. But I can't remember which is which. I would think collapsed trachea symptoms are the air coming in to the body and reverse sneezing is the air going out. But I'm guessing. Good luck.

| My vet told me that was just them coughing. Maybe a tickle in his throat? I would still check with the vet if it continues but I wouldnt worry so much.

| It sounds like reverse sneezing to me, my 5 year old does it all the time(just about every day), when they're doing this, they're not breathing out of their mouths..It's really funny, but, a lot of vets don't know much about reverse sneezing..you need to get your dog to breathe out of her mouth when she' s doing this, so, need to get her to give you kisses, or even hold her nose for a second.. |
