I have a 14 week old yorkie named Johnny Cash. Last night, he started doing this sucking in motion, like he was struggling for breath and his chest/lungs seemed to expand and suck in quite a bit. My other dog, Tahoe, has experienced reverse sneezing, but he's much older and it sounded more like a cough when Tahoe had it. This little guy sounds completely different so I'm not going to assume it's reverse sneezing. I'm wondering what this could be.... any ideas? Should I be worried? He did it again this morning.
