reverse sneezing vs. trachia collapse I was just searching for any threads on reverse sneezing. Bailey just recently took this habbit up. at first i thought it was dry heaving, (which he does also) but then i noticed the difference. he has been running around the house on his own a lot more lately and i did find a patch of carpet that he so nicely ripped to shreads. my question is, should i be concerned with this? i am scheduled for a vet apt on tuesday and unfortunatly i am going out of town this weekend and my mom will be baby sitting him. after reading the posts, its seems that reverse sneezing isnt a big deal? or is it? it totally freaks me out and i feel like his poor little throat will collapse because of them. is there anyway to prevent him from doing this? besides locking him up all day (which i wouldnt) |
talk with your vet about this and find out what is the best thing you can do for your baby. |
I would talk to your vet. One of mine makes a snorting sound periodically and I am gonna ask the vet about it next time I am in. |
Linus did the same thing and when I went to the vet for it he told me that reverse sneezing is the "symptom" of collapsing trachea syndrome. He does it when he gets excited. He also said that it's not a big deal unless he does it very frequently (like 3-4 times a day) and then all we would have to do is put him on some asthma medicine. When he does it, rub his trachea up and down gently to cause it to open back up. And make sure not to say things like "it's ok" or sound concern because that just makes it worse. But of course, always ask the vet about it! |
I agree with rubbing his neck. That's what I have to do with Gwen it it works really well. |
OMG this sounds serious! collapsing of the trachia symptoms?! i havent done that much research on it but is that hereditary? or just something that happens? i know i am jumping to conclusions but i am a spaztic mother and i am leaving him with my parents for 3 days tomorrow and wont be able to get him to the vet until tuesday. he only does it if he is running around the whole entire house. i think he eats stuff he is not supposed to. some days he will do it 3-4 times and some not at all. but when we are playing together and he does it is only once so do i still rub his throat afterwards? could it be from playing too much? i am writing everything down and going straight to the vet when i get back :( |
I promise it's not that serious and something that can wait until your vet appointment on Tuesday. I do believe it's hereditary. My vet said that most small dogs have it in some form or another and it varies in severity. Linus does the same thing as far as the frequency, sometimes a lot and sometimes not at all. The vet said it was fine as long it's not a really frequent thing (4 times every day). We have permanently taken off the collar (he used to have it for tags not walks) and that does seem to help some. We just try not to get him too excited. That is what seems to trigger it. It's really something incredibly manageable with very little effort! |
well good that makes me feel better. it just sounds a lot worse then it is. i feel like calling the breeder. i want my baby to be able to play and run with me. is that something i just need to not do for long amounts of time? or get one of those baby jogging strollers! how cute thank you for your comments |
