 How do I know this is just a reverse sneeze?
instead of something worse. Long story, short...this is my sons dog who lives alot of the time with me. She had her first attack when living with him...they took her to a vet (a 1 1/2 hr drive from their university, at night) because they were so worried about her. They said she acted like she was choking. Vet said reverse sneeze though she didnt do it when they were there,so she couldnt be sure. I have also seen her do this several times when she lived here...once scared me so bad I took her to the emergency vet at 4 am. She looks like she is dying, head straining forward, body quivering, and trembles like crazy when it is over. The time it happened here she had just vomited a huge amount. Again my vet found nothing wrong either. She did it again last night keeping my son up all night. Today she is back with me and I am so worried it will start again. How do I know that is what this is? From what i have read online it sounds like a sneeze but that is not what this sounds like when she does it. It seems like she cant get her breath...though she can do it a couple of times and is fine afterwards. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? I dont want to over react,but dont want to miss anything as I love this little dog so much. Thanks.
