| What the heck is a reverse sneeze? When I took Roxie to have her knees looked at the other day, the vet said she also has reverse sneeze. What is that? Is it something I should be worried about? (I know, I should have asked the vet, but I was so worried about her knees that it just sort of went in one ear and out the other)

| Our little chiu/pom mix has this problem. When you sneeze you blow air out. A reverse sneeze the dog is pulling air in threw the nose. Its noisy and sounds like they are gasping for breath. Our girl has had this all her life. It happens when she is excited. For the most part its not life threatening. Though they say if it happens daily there is probably an underlying cause. Our girl is 15 in human years and has always done this. Has been checked and the vet cannot find a problem.

No Longer a Member | I had a rottie growing up that would do this, and my grandparents have a poodle that does this as well. It only happened/happens when they got/get excited. Sorry for the /'s the rottie passed a while ago, but their poodle is still alive and well. |

| Thank you for the links! The vet did check her out because I had expressed concern about her trachea, but he said it was fine.
