Oreo has been sounding like he's sort of gagging, but you can tell that he can't breathe. I noticed it happens when he gets overly excited. I thought about collapse trachea, but I'm not even sure what those symptoms are.

The past two days, his episodes lasted about 10 seconds..after I rubbed his throat, it stopped.. Can anyone give me some advice? Anyone experience this with furbabes?

Both my girls do this when excited or sometimes after a drink...If you gently hold their nostrils and force them to breath through their mouths it usually stops - I gently put my fingers on their little nostrils - for approx 3 seconds...release...three seconds...release...till they stop gasping... and it really works ...if your baby really keeps doing this with frequency - I would DEF take him to the vet and they can check his trachea...It's really a scary sound isn't it ?
