Gypsy Rose has made a similar noise since she was a pup (16 months now) - when she's excited or many other times too and at first we were really concerned and took her to our vet as I suspected collapsed trachae and she was so young but our vet diagnosed tonsilitis (not sure if it ever was and it did not clear up after two courses of antibiotics) - so now I presume it is reverse sneezing. When she goes into one of these "sessions" for wnat of a better word, we hold her nose gently but firmly ( a Bichon Frise owner told us to try this) and it nearly always stops her!! She actually heads towards us now when it happens as she knows it will help! Do let us know what your vet says! |
