I wouldn't take reverse sneezing so lightly. Our yorkie, Jingles aged 5 years old did 2 reverse sneezes last month and died 5 hours later from a collapsed trachea. He was on meds for this for over a year. We rushed him to the vet twice that day. He got a bronchodilator shot and oxygen but still died. This is a genetic problem.
