Melissa - I'm not sure it's the same thing...but Bridget does a noise like that - when I asked the vet about it he felt it was "reverse sneezing". He suggested I go to YouTube and search it out to see if that is what it is. I know others have posted the different videos so that you can see/hear what they sound like. I don't know how to attach them, but if you search out reverse sneeze I'm sure you'll run across it....they are posted quite often. My vet also suggested that if I'm still not satisfied I could bring him in a video and he'd be able to tell me...but from what I've seen others post (scared about the collapsed trachea) after watching the videos they saw it was indeed the "reverse sneezing". I also have a friend who's Doxie had a collapsed trachea and did just fine with proper care and meds. All the bad things seem to jump out at us when we're looking for things like this. I think it's because people need to talk about things when they are upset - but when the outcome is good - they are just relieved, and move on. I don't mean on this site - but in general...
I'm sure everything will be just fine but I think Ladymom is right - first get your vets opinion....if it is anything more than "reverse sneezing" you can get right on the proper approach to get it manageable. Good luck! |
