do you hear what she's doing you get up
close you can see her basically this is
what we call the reverse sneeze and it
is not at all uncommon and typically it
is a little scary to people the first
time they hear their dog do it or see
their dog do it and they really think
that oh my god
my dog is having some kind of a fit or a
seizure and they can't breathe and the
fact of the matter is it's a spasm and
it's a lot like you're I getting a
sneeze but it's actually what we call a
reverse sneeze or instead of it's like
that they're going and no it's a little
uncomfortable it really does not harm
them anyway and there's a couple of
things that can cause this it can be a
result of this tiny little bug crawling
around in their nasal cavity you write
disgusting or it can be a result of
allergies causing a little irritation to
the the back the nasal cavities maybe
some post nasal drip and then the end
result is that lovely lovely sound that
they create so if you have a dog who has
a tendency especially in the spring to
have these little fits and they can go
on for quite some time then just know
it's nothing more than a reverse sneeze
but if it starts in one dog and then all
of a sudden you have a couple of dogs or
the other dogs in the household are
developing it it's at that point I want
you to consider they may have little you
know little monsters within them they
may have these little bugs crawling
around in their nose and there are ways
that we can actually help them I don't
know about you but the idea of something
crawling around in my nasal cavities is
enough to give me the heebie-jeebies and
I would want someone to take mercy on me
and
me out so if you see your puppy doing
this and you suspect it might be nasal
mines or you're just concerned there are
things that we can do to treat them and
if that funky reverse sneeze goes away
well wallah there you have your answer
okay so that's a simple of that just a
little reverse sneeze and poor little
Skye tends to suffer this about every
spring so we'll give her just some nasal
flushes and she'll be good as new
