Like "I love Bailey" said, it could very well be the reverse sneezing. Oscar did it quite a bit when he was a puppy, but seems to have outgrown it and seldom does it at all now. Ruthie is the same - seemed to do it quite a bit when she was a young puppy, but at 8mths now, the 'episodes' seem to be fewer and farther between. I would do a search on here for 'reverse sneeze' as well as 'collapsing trachea' and do a comparison of the symptoms you're seeing. Reverse sneezing always sounded to me like saliva going down the wrong tube - the dog will usually stand with legs kindof apart in a stiff posture - head will bob in and out as they do it.... very strange to watch.
Good luck with your baby! |
I really hope my Ginger at 12 weeks is reverse sneezing episodes. She was fine for a while then tonight started up with this again. Vet said it could be anything a few weeks ago and put her on meds. It is very strange to watch and 13 yrs ago when my two yorkies then I remember went through this if I recall. One died later of a fall and my 13 yr old female doesn't do this much unless she drinks too much water.
