Reverse Sneezing In Pets
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I finally got a video of a doggo reverse sneezing! You guys have only been asking for this video for about a year, and I’ve only been trying to make this video for like, 2 years! I can’t thank my lovely actress, Lilly, enough for her commitment to the role!
Now, typically reverse sneezing will resolve either on its own, or with one of the two methods shown in the video. It can look pretty intense too (falling down a bit, eyes super wide or slightly rolling to the back of the head, etc.), but even those intense episodes will generally resolve without veterinary intervention. But if you are concerned, you can always bring your pet in. We may just pat your pet on the head, give’em some chin scratches, and send them on their merry way!
The correct technical term for this outburst is "Sniffy Fit". As lifelong property of multiple Shih Tzus, I can assure you they are correctly called Sniffy Fits.
😂
We experienced this a couple months ago and called the vet in a panic. They told us it was reverse sneezing. It stopped on its own. Our boy just has a long snoot.
WOW so that's what my dog has been doing for the last 10 years. I thought it was asthma or a sign of a respiratory infection, but the vet always said he was healthy. Thank you for the info.
Yeah my vey missed my dogs for 5 years and she was actually diagnosed with asthma, but the specialist just diagnosed her with a floppy larynx which was somehow missed on the original X-ray.
Our vet told my little guy to hold a toy in his mouth. My little guy actually listened. It works
Picking up my dog, Swiffer, and placing him in front of a water bowl will pretty much always get him to drink, and immediately stop his reverse sneezes (especially post kidney failure… baby boy is ALWAYS thirsty!)
Do I want to know how he got the name Swiffer? He sounds adorable!
@@KayPrescesky he’s a Maltese-bichon mix and when he first arrived he started rubbing against the walls!!!
You're not going to believe this: I literally had just opened YT on my pc, my cat walks into the room, and as if on cue, begins reverse sneezing! So I stop what I'm doing to watch her and ask if she's okay, include an "Awwwe, poor Meezie", wait for her to finish, then watch this video!! This happens more often when the pollen is high (for me as well 😆). Thanks Dr. Bozelka!
i legit did not know that this is what that noise is-
thank you so much for all your educating content!!
You are one funny veterinarian 😹
Fascinating thank you. I've had dogs my whole life and I knew there was nothing wrong, but I didn't know what it was. Now I do. You rock.
Certified Pet Aesthetician here, thank you for the fantastic resource that I can share with my clients! Not only is it informative but it is hilarious!
I learnt about this after a $300 vet visit when I first had my pup
My "terror of a terrier" (JRT to be precise!) has this down to a fine art, complete with the "SPCA poster boy" look! Like me he is stubborn so both techniques simultaneously have to happen! He's a weirdo, but he's my weirdo, and I love him!
Points at beagle
…good timing, our cat just got diagnosed with reverse sneezing (“mostly”) on Friday/today. (Labs and X-rays came back with no infection today.) We have some behavioral issues to fix before going after the root cause of the reverse sneezing, but since we already ruled out infection, it’s likely mild asthma or allergies. And this IS the cat who will find dust, should dust ever exist. So my vote is allergies. Be interesting to try these reset techniques on him!
Ooooh! We've always said: 'Oh! Do have the 'snorties'?" :D I massage the neck and gently blow into their nose! Works for me. But I'm happy to have this knowledge from you. Thank you
Lol! As a child it really scared me for my pets. My father told me it wasn’t a problem as a child in the 1950s. He was a scientist and artist and had a sort of Dr Doolittle relationship with animals.
Our staffy does it often enough. Thanks for the tip! He will think I'm a genius!
I lovingly refer to this as "having the snorts".
It usually stops on its own without intervention, but I would definitely intervene if it's been going on for over a minute. The dog is compulsively taking short inhales during these episodes and can end up light-headed.
I had a dog that was prone to reverse sneezing (and he wasn't brachycephalic) and I knew to intervene as soon as the episode started, because it always went on for quite a while. Pinching the nose to block the nostrils was also my go-to move. Leading them to swallow afterwards is also a good idea, because the sneezing can start up again.
I thought my dog was dying the 1st time she did this. Rushed her to the vet. Cost us $420. to hear it was called reverse sneezing & wasn't dangerous. Scared the crap outta me though!
Thank you for this scientific and hilarious explanation of our Dachshunds frequent history with this ❤️🐶🐶🐱🐾🐾🐾🐾
My dachshund did this many times too!
My westie sometimes does this ar random times. Morning, Night, evening, mostly during and after a walk. She looks like shes stuck there doing that wheezy mid sneeze sound. Now I know what It is😅
I helped a young couple's pug who was doing this while out on a hike in a local park. They were amazed. So I taught them how to it. I used the massage method not the nostril method. It works well.
I used to have a dachshund that did this a lot - they're scent hounds! - and it always stopped very quickly with the head back gently cover both nostrils method.
I have a Shih Tzu. She’s an expert at the whole reverse sneezing thing. 😁
Dude, I wish I'd had this video like a year and a half ago! The first time my Frenchie had a reverse sneeze it scared the hell out of me! I thought she wasn't able to get enough air. I stumbled across the term a few months after her BOAS surgery and Google informed me of the little hack to stop it. She gets them more in the warmer weather or when she insists on playing with my guinea pigs' hay.
OMG! I needed this video so bad. Our new adopted fur baby has done this a couple times and it scared the bejesus out of me. Thank you for sharing.
My late beagle used to do this all the time. We never knew what the hell it was. Thank you for this video!
Excellent sweetie!
My Dal used to do this. Now it's my shelter hound
My first 2 dogs never did this, but my current dog does occasionally. Found reverse sneeze with a quick google search. Also with her, I learned you can scare hiccups out of a dog.
Oh my goodness my grandma’s dog sounds like that….
I always wondered why her dog does that… Thank you for this video!
And here I thought it was an impending hairball. Thanks for teaching me something!
Huh, I just figured I wouldn't want to be touched in the middle of it, so they wouldn't. I'll give it a try the next time our Phat Pugg starts up.
My pug didn’t want to be touched and would try to get away the first few times I did this, but I think she has figured out it helps because now she will just stand there and not run, so if yours tries to get away don’t stop trying to help, give it a few times and they will probably figure it out as well.
Pug = reverse sneezing
Our younger whippet has a fit at bedtime a few nights a week, and in the car if he’s excited. Usually massaging his throat helps. It’s not completely inhaling though. He has snorked out a wad of booger on me. I was a little grossed out but he seemed to feel better. And really, if the worst thing I have to deal with is wiping off whippet snot, it’s a pretty good day.
Wow thank you, my dog did this for the first time today and it scared the heck out of me.
Oooohhhhh this makes so much sense, my dog does this sometimes and it’s really scared me, thank you so much for explaining!
My moms toy poodle does this all the time we just massage his neck and that usually helps.
Huh, so that's what it's called. Thanks for making this video. Now I know what to do the next time our dog does this.
Thank you SO much for this!!! Now I understand what it is and to help my old man 🥰
Thanks for this. I always wondered what this was.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My boy had a fit of this throughout the spring and I was doing a big concern!
Thanks for covering this. Both our dogs do it, glad to know we're doing it right 😊
Good to know this! My dog dies this occasionally and it concerns me, but he always stops on his own after about 15-30 seconds or so. Thank you!😊
Is this just a dog thing? I have had 40 years of cats and have never seen anything like this
My bengals do this occasionally. Cats I had previously never did. I read it can be related to having a hairball. It's the saddest noise in the world, but then they swallow and continue to do whatever cat stuff they were previously engrossed in. Vet was not concerned.
My 21 year old cat does it but it stops when I make her purr (I pick her up she purrs!). But yes this is the only cat I have ever had that does it so I thinking it's an age thing with her.
According to my vet, it’s a LOT more common in dogs, but it can happen in cats. Owners often dismiss it because it does sort of look and sound like a hairball, but it’s not.
I've never seen anything like it either, but one of my cats started doing this about a year and a half ago. Could never get her to do it at the vet, so they brush me off. Finally got them to give her antibiotics and a steroid shot which cleared it right up. I'm gonna try this massage technique. Much cheaper.
it's not just a cat and a dog thing either, I have ferrets and they do it too!
My pug gets scared with both of those methods. My vet said that the stress makes it worse for her. He suggested that I leave the room because he thought I was also causing her stress. I asked a few questions and he said that worse case scenario she would pass out and resume normal breathing. I now just tease her about being a honking goose and a silly girl since pugs are hardwired to make you laugh. It seems to distract her enough to stop it. I have not tried to blow in her nose though 🤣🤣🤣
Ooooh so that's what it is. My family had a carin terrier with allergies for years. He would make this noise every so often and we assumed he just had a stuffy snout and was trying to clear his sinuses, per what we were told by the shelter vet tech when we adopted him ( he had a little bit of a kennel cough).
OHH SO THATS WHAT MY CHIHUAHUA IS DOING OMG
My shorkie, Lady, has been afflicted with this since she was a puppy. Someone even thought it was a symptom of heartworms but she's been tested several times and it is always negative. It sounds bad but it isn't. 😮
Helpful and entertaining! My dog Chloe was doing this the same year we got her a DNA test! I was taking a survey on the dna test site and that where I learned about this. Glad to know there's a way to help!
Will you talk about Legg Perthes Disease in cats and dogs at all? I heard it's rare in cats. My cat Mango had it and he needed FHO surgery (Would love to see a video on that too! I find it interesting!)
Why have I subscribed to this channel, I don't have a pet😂😂😂
Why don't humans do this, or do we and it's known by another name like hiccups?
Also video seems like it cuts off suddenly at the end.
We do, and it’s called reverse sneezing! I tend do do it after I sneeze: two sneezes “out” and then I’ll take a huge inhale in and start sneezing/coughing. 🫤
The funny thing is, my cat used to do that, I had no idea what it was, but I massaged her throat thinking it was her getting ready to puke and she would swallow instead. It stopped it, she purred after and I just started to do that when I noticed it . Guess I figured that one out on my own. ❤
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You
Awesome info. Thank you.
Blessings
My dog had this and it turns out she has a floppy larynx that was made worse by allergic rhinitis with an underlying infection. Her floppy larynx was missed with an X-ray 5 years beforehand when the reverse sneezing started and was diagnosed as asthma, but the specialist vet diagnosed it a few weeks ago when she was intubated for the scope and she could see the larynx collapse with her breaths.
Thank you for that! The extra info is helpful.
My Beagle, he passed recently, did that. I would hold his nose and it stopped. Several tries was often necessary. Do you know he started to hold his own breath when I reached for his nose, after awhile he seemed to do this for himself when a backward sneeze started. I am hoping my beagle mix, who also has frequent b-sneeze attacks can learn this too.
good to know thanks!
My little Yoodle (Yorkie/poodle mix) gets this problem somewhat frequently. I didn't know what it was until now. What I did know was that, if I put a bowl of food in front of her, she stops. 😂
My boy does this all the time he's a Chihuahua my other dogs not usually my sister always says he has a collapsed tracia, it happens when hes excited, hes a indoor dog and it happens when i ask them if they want to go outside (for bathroom reasons but they also explore and when we are about to go for a walk or a car ride
My senior chi mix has done this his whole life. Most of his are brought on after drinking water. Sadly he will not let me do either of these methods to help him, he is super stubborn!
😂 my cat once got some cat-grass stuck up in her nose… now clue how that happend but the revers sneezing was real
If your dog is honking like a goose it could be collapsing trachea… my small dog had this and had to be on medication to help reduce it. 2:34
My Devon Rex boy has this and we discovered it was a perfume I love wearing. My fave perfume is now in a drawer unused. We are currently doing smell tests to see which ones I can wear around him. Getting lots and lots of sample perfumes and he’s reacted to all but 2. One of which I think smells horrible. The other is a unisex Billie eilish one.
When was this discovered? My little terrier had it in the early 2000's and no vet that I went to in San Diego could tell me what it was or how to fix it!
Ok, honest question, is it weird that this always happens when my dog gets excited, such as when they see someone they really like after not seeing said person
Awwwww cutie🎉🎉❤
I did think my little girl was choking and it would get me so worried.......my poor little prapso shih tzu i had no idea what was going on i also thought she just got worked up but she hasnt done this is a very long long time......but now i will know what to do if she does it again!!!
Swallowing stops it. My dogs prefer to swallow a treat to stop.
My dog does this a few times a month. Should I then go to a vet or rather not? How often is normal?
I am not clear is this a dog only thing?
This vet is hot❤
Oh, I thought it was because they were startled. Post nasal drip sucks. Poor thing
Lol. Primary care vet. What about when all of those are refusing new patients? Sure I can get them to do shots when needed but none of them will accept us for routine visits.
💜💙
Half a benadryl for cat allergies works well for my Kitty
Get a dog that's not bred for genetically unviable traits because "cute."
One of my whippets does it
My AmStaffie Boxer mix used to do this periodically. My veterinarian told me to place my mouth over his nose and blow in, it always stopped it. Sounds rather gross saying it but I would do anything for my babies. My neighbor and his Pit Boxer were visiting a few weeks ago and she started doing it so I blew into her nose, I don’t know who was more surprised the neighbor or the dog. Stopped it, and he was so grateful he didn’t know what was going on or what to do for it and always forgot about it while at the vets.
I hold my Cavalier’s nostrils close. Works like a charm!
