Reverse Sneezing In Dogs - Why It Happens & When To Worry!

[@Tansen_]

I remember when my Boston, Bob would reverse sneeze. It was no big deal to me but amusing and understandable watching other people's reactions to it. Just added to his piglet noises 🤷 thank you for taking the time to make this video! It's so great to spread the awareness of what's actually going on and how to help comfort the pup.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

lol piglet noises love it! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

I remember even when I was a child that when our dog went into reverse sneezing (I didn't really know what it was back then) I used to gently rub her throat and she would calm down and stop. It was interesting to hear the vet in this video talk about trying that same method.

[@denisplouffe514]

Our two BTs are pron to have reverse sneezing in cold weather and rubbing their throat helps.

Here I am at 4 in the morning woke up to my chihuahua doing this. I got so scared I didn’t know what to search up because I didn’t know wether to call it a cough or wheeze. And I’m here doing research in order to be prepared Good night guys.

[@elizadicksonmusic_au]

Just done the exact same thing. 4:06am on the dot haha. Hope your pup is ok

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

😵

[@teeniequeenie8369]

My chihuahua does this often but started doing this all night last night after coming into contact with a dog with a cold the other day…

[@CheeseSqueezer]

Trudy just did it. Its insane.. it goes for like 15 seconds straight

[@candycreations8373]

I did not know about this before i watched an other of your videos... and i am glad i did, cuz when my dog did that i just calm him dow, comfort him... and i dont freak out... i totally love your videos... i am happy to found your channel...

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

This makes me so happy! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos

[@firefly88887]

Donny thank you for this information, your initial video and how I’ve managed my little guys ! I love your shirt covered in Boston sprinkles 🙏🏼♥️

[@Realalma]

I have a frenchie who occasionally does this. I was taught by my vet to gently cover her nostrils with my finger for a couple seconds and it stops immediately. The throat rub that I was doing works too but takes a bit longer in my experience.

[@karenho9811]

One of our Bosties, Scully, reverse sneezes every day. We realised that it was because she literally inhales her food. She's not upset by it but because her food include seeds & grains (vet suggested because of other health issues), I worry that these will get lodged in her nasal cavity etc & cause real problems in the long run. have just purchased a slow feeder bowl in the hopes that it will reduce the sneezes. She absolutely hates the bowl of course but we hope it will help.

[@denisplouffe514]

Our two BTs are prone to reverse sneezing especially in cold temperatures in a Canadian winter. Rubbing their throat helps.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Yeah, I think it is so weird how the temperature change can cause this.

[@raheemmassenburg2828]

My girlfriend and I were just talking about this last night with our BT. Thanks for the information ☺️

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

lol weird and perfect timing.

[@stacyrussell460]

First time my Chihuahua did the reverse sneeze, I panicked. I really thought something was wrong. He's perfectly fine & just has standard allergies just like humans.

[@josematzkin]

It’s really frightening to hear my boy doing it. It’s only been a couple of times but I do also try to calm him down and rub his belly and throat.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Yeah it was scary the first time Bella did it

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

My pup is still having an adverse impact from the Kennel Cough vaccine. Reverse sneezing is one of the adverse reactions, red inflamed eyes, and hot ears sometimes is also inflammation from the vaccine. Makes you wonder what those vaccines do to their brains. I also got oral thrush from the puppy. Tried to stop him kissing me, but you know what puppies are like.

[@marcprobin1659]

Yesterday my chi had the reverse sneezing and just gently rub his throat as the vet says on the video.

[@a.c.cordova9840]

My Jack Russell does RS here and there but suddenly (in the last 2 weeks) he seems to be doing it more so. What about heat? We have been under a heat wave 95+ the last several days (we have about 3 more days of the heat wave to go). We have been inside the majority of the time.....I have the fan on in the room as well as the a/c going. We have not done anything out of the ordinary, the Mrs. (a Yorkie mix) is fine. I have a feeling it's a mix of the heat, fans, and possibly dust particles coming from the fan. what do you think?

[@Kbezukodeidad]

Thanks doc!!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

😊

[@narsreenjohnson4966]

do we have to pay for pawp?

[@ariessmm]

Our shih tzu dog has been doing this for a year now and it gets worse over time to the point that she would vomit if it wouldn’t stop and we tried rubbing her throat. What should we do?

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Go to a vet

[@katelyn4455]

thats exactly the same as my shih tzu dog and i also dont know what to do my parents wont take her to the vet

[@myloourbeagleboy721]

My dog reverse sneezing every day for 30 secs couple of times and few times a minute.

[@ricardoguzman1466]

My dog does it almost on a daily or multiple times a day but I think It my be because of excitement🤷🏻‍♂️

[@joblogs]

So glad because my puppy Boston terrier does this about 0nce or twice a day they way they are going on in this video it's a worrying thing to do it daily ?

[@dayanarasanz4903]

I have a question, my 4 year old Yorkie ambas been having several reverse sneezes during the day through these past 4 days and he hasn’t been himself these last few days. Should I take him to the vet or is this normal ? Great video by the way!!

[@tapoutz29]

My dog has started the same situation as yours the past 2 days and he is a French bulldog. Can you tell me how it’s been and what you did or has happened so far ??

[@katelyn4455]

this is the same as my 6 month old shih tzu. Shes been doing this multiple times since yesterday i dont know what to do.. any help?

[@tapoutz29]

@@katelyn4455 if after 2 days it’s continuously happening, take to the vet. This happened had with my little guy and he was given medicine that helped the next day, he had a mild upper respiratory infection I guess . Take them if it is happening for 2-3 days straight

[@katelyn4455]

@@tapoutz29 ok thank u☺

[@frankdavila8483]

I have another question I feed my dog a tablespoon of blue Buffalo on the can should I put in the refrigerator OK and I leave it outside how long it takes to spoil outside the refrigerator thank you for your help

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I'm not sure with this question. I would assume putting it in the fridge would be the best option.

[@janniejeanjellybean3803]

Haachooo’🐶 👍👍

[@frankdavila8483]

I got two females and one mail which one will you spay

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

If you're not planning on breeding them I personally would spay both.

[@naed_coral]

I really dislike when people say "to check it's not one of these other things" without saying what those things are.... :/

[@No-db6gb]

Hellooooooooo

[@frankdavila8483]

Do you recommend me spay my dog

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

If you don’t plan on breeding her I personally would spay her. We spayed Bella.

[@frankdavila8483]

Oh my god that is my dogs name

[@shareeplayle2693]

I don’t see an example of it

[@DANIELLE-gq6ct]

I think its food related

[@leticiavaldez6526]

First

[@ianz28]

I’ve said it before. The best way to relax your Boston is by pulling up gently on their rib cage from bottom to top (basically a massage). Worked for me 100%. Edit: I don’t have much knowledge about other dog breeds.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thanks for the tip! Hey, having one Boston Terrier makes you an expert over someone who doesn't have one :)

[@ianz28]

Boston Terrier Society I had 2. Not that it matters. One had luxating patellas and the other had “cherry eye”. Expensive surgeries. I had a lab when I was young (great dog/companion). But, my best friends parents had Boston’s. That is how I fell in love with the breed. Of course I’ve met tons of different types of dogs. There is just something special about Boston’s. As you always say. “Life is better with a Boston.” Edit: I’m definitely not an expert. Just know from experience that a raw diet fixes gastrointestinal issues. And a few other tidbits that worked with mine.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Yeah I have a video coming out with a vet who is talking about cherry eye. Also, would you be interested in me interviewing you to talk about your experince of feeding a Boston Terrier a raw diet. An owners perspective I think it would be helpful to a lot of people.

[@ianz28]

Boston Terrier Society I’ll try to get them for a weekend and see if it’s possible. I’d have to figure out a decent video setup. I’d enjoy that. I’d want them in the video.

[@demiipxnda4582]

I hold my BT up to "sit like people" or lay her on her back to calm her down. You have to make sure you support their back an such, though, especially if your BT has a curly tail (they're more prone to back and vertebrae problems).
