| Yorkie had a scary breathing episode ..... Can Some one help me understand what my yorkie just went through. My son was playing with him and he got all excited and started gasping for air. Now he does this sometimes when he gets really excited. However it never lasted this long .

| If/when he does it again, put your fingertips over his nostrils. It'll make him breathe through his mouth and should stop the reverse sneeze almost immediately. |

| I also think its reverse sneezing. You can google it. My little Bella used to do the same thing when she was really excited...I always thought it was cute.
