It definitely does not sound like reverse sneezing. The noise he makes sounds like he's trying to clear his nose but he's all congested. He's had this now for the last few weeks. I think it started right around Spring time. He doesn't do it all the time, probably a few times a day and it only last a 3-5 seconds.

In any case, I was just wondering if you have any update on Bella. I'm going to bring Orion to the vet sometime next week for his rabies shot and will ask the vet about it.
Actually, I do have an update! Back when I posted this, Bella was doing it daily (maybe 3 or 4 times a day). She still does it bow, but it's pretty infrequently.....like maybe once every week or 2 (or more).
Also, she did it once when we were at the vet. The vet tech was with us when she did it and said, "My dog reverse sneezes just like this too!", so apparently it is reverse sneezing.....just not quite so loud/dramatic as the videos I've seen. I guess we're lucky that her little "episodes" are very mild in comparison! And like I said, it's very rare that she does it. I think hers is really just some combination of allergens, dryness, and excitement.
Good luck with Orion.....I hope he just has a mild "case" of the reverse sneezes too!
