Almost had a slight coronary when I saw this thread pop up bc it brought back such memories
. But no worries, my heart is healthy!
Marcel has had some odd/weird breathing issues over the years, but not quite like this one I described that night, which was really severe. I had him scoped bc we suspected inverted nares, elongated soft palate, brachycephalic (bc Marcel has such a flat/short face/nasal area) or some other mysterious anomaly. And of course, they found absolutely *nothing*, which on one had is great...but on the other, no explanation. We have now chalked it up to his allergies - that perhaps his throat/respirations get irritated if/when his allergies act up/ or have breakthru allergy symptoms.
So, I'd be asking your vet about the possibility of inverted nares, elongated soft palate, laryngeal spasm (long shot/rare), and brachycephalic syndrome (especially if your kiddo has a flatter-than-usual face/nasal area // short nose).
Please keep us posted!
PS. have you reviewed our thread in the Library comparing reverse sneeze vs kennel cough vs collapsed trachea...if so, you may want to see if it sounds like any of those too.
