| Hair Ball? Ok so like i said in a previous post a few months after i got canella she developed some snorting/coughing and i took her to one vet and they said her lungs were a bit congested so they gave her anibiotics i did it religiously for the week they advised...it didnt go away so i took her in to a different vet for a second opinion her put her on a liquid antibiotic rather than a pill and told me to give it to her twice a day until it is gone...so i did...well here we are 3 months later and she still makes a sound i am not so comfortable with...it seems like she is gonna houck (sp?) up a hair ball but nothing comes out she does this about 2-3 time daily...i dont know what to do when i take her to the vet nothing helps and it feels like i am just throwing money in the trash i just want her to get better i mean she is happy, playful, eat and drinks regularly....i just dont know what it is any suggestions? anything helps |

| Are you sure some of this isn't reverse sneezing? When it happens if you put your finger over her nose for a couple seconds, does it stop?

| Or could it possibly be a trachea problem? Curious to see what others have to say.

| My baby sometimes snort/cough. Then sometimes she throws up a little. I think it's because she has eaten a small piece of tissue paper, a few strands of my hair or some dirt she got from the floor. I really try to keep the floor clean but can't seem to keep it perfectly clean cause she roams around the entire room. She just loves eating everything she sees on the floor and the proof of her eating some hair strands was obvious in her poop. Bad baby! I wish she would stop doing this

Try doing the finger over the nose thing next time and if it stops, it is probably reverse sneezing. If not, I guess it will be back to the vet.
