 Dr Hanzi-the first reply
Ok.. here is what my vet saud.. I am still waiting for the specialist..
"Hi Carolyn,
Although it wasn't very clear,,,,That really sounds like a "reverse sneeze " to me which can be triggered by allergies. One of my dogs actually does it on a larger scale (of course) and if you cup the palm of your hand and hold over his nose and mouth for approx. 10 sec. you can usually break the cycle. If it gets excessive you can give some benedryl (1 mg /pound) . See if that helps.
A collapsing tracheal cough is usually more of just that....a cough.
Another thing,
It was kind of hard for me to see but to verify if it is reverse sneezing than check to see if he is inhaling or exhaling during the honk. That will clarify it. I couldn't see on my computer.
Your welcome,
Marlene Hanzi"
I am not sure what it means depending if he is inhaling or exhaling. during the event. so I asked her that too. Waitng now on the other review..
