Maybe it is something similar...she is going to the vet on Thursday so hopefully I will see what it is then. I hate when the vet doesn't know what's wrong and can't suggest anything.

I do know that when she does it and I rub/massage her throat, she stops doing it. She will do it when she is either running around, on a walk or getting back from a walk, or that one night when she was doing it early in the morning & she was just sitting on my bed. It just gets me worried sometimes.
