| Allergies? My baby has been sneezing and reverse sneezing a lot the last few days and I know in my area Redwood City, CA it is pretty high in pollen on certain day especially now that it is spring, I even developed allergies living here. So how do I know for sure that he is having allergies? He is not licking his paws or anything just has been sneezing and reverse sneezing a lot and I'm concerned

| The pollen is really high here too and Max has been sneezing a little, especially after our trips to the park.

| Is there anything we can do about it? Does her reverse sneeze too? The whole reverse sneeze thing scares me the most sometimes he makes a honking sound.

| If he doing it daily and having long episodes, I would check in with the vet. Some Yorkies are more prone to reverse sneezing especially when they are excited or riled up. Covering the nose for a second or two or blowing into the nose often helps them swallow and end the attack.

| Max does a little reverse sneezing after a bath when he is doing zoomies. I think he gets water up his nose. Some dogs will do it after drinking water.

| Thank you so much for that trick! I'm going to use it. I will take him to the vet if this persists or has a long episode a few months ago he had a really long episode it went on for about 5-7 minutes I had no idea what it was later I learned that it was reverse sneezing. I even recorded it. Thank you for the advice

| Sometimes Zoey goes into the "honking mode" and I don't know if it is reverse sneezing or a trachea problem. How to tell?

If I recall correctly, a dog with collapsed trachea will often start making noise if the neck and chin are rubbed (not during a sneezing attack, but just in general). Probably has more to do with putting pressure anywhere on the trachea.

| After watching, I think Zoey had reverse sneezing. This went on for a least 30 mins and she looked distressed. I finally gave her .07 ml of Hydrocodone cough syrup (mine) and the coughing stopped immediately. I tried the rubbing of her throat but it did not help and I was worried about it being a trachea problem.

Be very careful giving medications not prescribed by the vet, especially when you cannot be sure what is wrong with your baby. Read this vet pharmacy warning about Hydrocodone: http://csu-cvmbs.colostate.edu/vth/D...ydrocodone.pdf

| She was coughing and gagging. The cough syrup was a tiny drop as I am aware of the adverse affects it can cause. Actually, I went online and did a quick research on giving her the syrup. I would not make it a habit to do that but she was in distress and it didn't seem to be stopping. She doesn't do this often but if it does happen it usually starts with her barking and progressing to the honking.

| For sneezing due to allergies, I've used benedryl or Claritin. Both work decently. I tend to go with benedryl becuase I always have it on hand.

oh wow this was soo helpful! Thank you now I'm not concerned about his trachea anymore. It's definitely reverse sneezing, so it might be the damn pollen.
