Okay...I called Baylee's veterinarian, and he called me back (NICE!)...He fortunately heard Baylee making the noise and told me that he had tracheobronchitis. (to be explicit, not to gross you out, it sounds like he was trying to cough up a loogie (if I spelled it right), and as if he could not breath at the same time...his legs spread out, and he had to stop what he was doing-playing, running, etc.) I knew it was not the usual reverse sneeze, not only because of how often he did it, but because I had done EVERYTHING I was told to prevent this...rubbed his throat, taken him outside for fresh air, removed allergens in the house as best I could, etc...

...So, the Vet prescribed him 3 medications, but he combined 2. One is an antibiotic, and the other is a steroid/cough supressant combined. I had the medicine sent to me overnight, since I live 6 hours away from home, where Baylee sees the vet. So far, so good. I've only heard the noise twice. Retrospectively, Baylee did not start sounding like this until last Friday. I took him to daycare (for the first time) last week (on Monday and Thursday)----LIGHT-BULB! So....I've come to a conclusion-NO MORE DAYCARE! At least not at the place to which I had taken him. The antibiotics are for 7 days and the cough supressant is for the same amount of time (I think...). However, if Spencer is making this noise too often as normal, as Baylee was, you may want to have him evaluated. I just found a way around the office visit, because I have a great Vet.
