| Do Dogs get Asthma Hi everyone.. This might be a weird question, but do dogs get Asthma? My little man Oreo has been doing this every so often, but is getting worse (well for the past two days)... Oreo has been sounding like he's sort of gagging, but you can tell that he can't breathe. I noticed it happens when he gets overly excited. I thought about collapse trachea, but I'm not even sure what those symptoms are. The past two days, his episodes lasted about 10 seconds..after I rubbed his throat, it stopped.. Can anyone give me some advice? Anyone experience this with furbabes? - concerned momma |

| Sounds like it might be a reverse sneeze or a trachea problem which are both common on small breed dogs. Try to get it on video and show your vet the next time you go in. |

| Mignon spends alot of time reverse sneezing.She does it when she is excited which seems to be all the time. If I do nothing it passes but usually i just run my hand over her face and that is enough to stop it. it is a scary sound,Rio did it alot when he wa a puppy, hardly ever now tho. |

| A harfing sound is more like a reverse sneeze. Trachea problem sounds more a gasping choke. Some babies are born with an oval trachea. When excited, it will semi collapse. It never hurts to have your back checked out by your vet. Keep us Posted.
