871111 tn?1248992972 Last year, my pug spontaneous begin inverted/reverse sneezing. I was told to not worry about it. Shortly after, maybe a month or so, she developed a runny nose with discharge. It's mostly always clear. She was taken to the vet and given antihistamines, which didn't really do much. Then a litter after the runny nose appeared, she started coughing. It was a dry, non-productive cough, almost like a "cack" sound. She was given doxycycline (100 mg) tablets, for kennel cough.
Avatar f tn ve never heard of this in Maltese or Poodles but I know a breed like a Pug can have elongated soft palates and collapsing tracheas. Does anything ever come out her nose, even a little, like food or water? I ask this because she may have (even a hairline) cleft palate. Has she been to the Vet or due to go in soon for shots maybe? I would mention this to the Vet and have him/her give the puppy a thorough examination. Wish I could be of more help.
Avatar n tn I've noticed a couple times that my pug would suddenly begin grasping for air in the middle of his sleep. The struggle for air wakes him up and he begins to make snorting sounds for about 10 seconds before he is able to breathe regularly again. Is this a common problem with pugs or should I get him checked for respitory problems? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Try looking up videos of reverse sneezing. Could that be it?
Avatar m tn Was going to mention possible reverse sneezing too, not uncommon in those breeds. Your dog is a mix but I suggest you do a Google search on each breed to see what health issues they can have, might help you out. Often the National Breed club web sites will address health issues also and give you some insight. If you are treating for Giardia, good thing that was discovered. Often does not show up in every stool. Make sure you wash the bowls daily in hot, soapy water or diluted bleach.
Avatar f tn YOU CAN SEE HER BODY KIND OF LIKE HEAVING OR CONVULSING. I TOOK HER TO MY VET AND THEY SAID SHE WAS REVERSE SNEEZING. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS. HE ALSO SAID TO GIVE HER A HALF OF A BENEDRYL. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE GOES TO THE VET REGULARY AND IS UPDATED ON ALL SHOTS AND TREATMENTS SHE SOMETIMES HAS ALLERGIES. LAST NIGHT THIS EPISODE LASTED ABOUT 1 MINUTE IT WAS VERY SCARY.
Avatar n tn My pug Max has a cough. Took him to vet yesterday and she gave him a flocillin shot, fluid therapy and clavamox medicine. His cough is a dry goose honk cough and then he gags after the cough. Having a chest x-ray done tonight. Do you have and idea what this can be? They ruled out kenell cough.
Avatar f tn My dog is making a weird weezy breathing sound... (NOT reverse sneezing, I'm aware of this.) He's not being active and you can see his chest move while he breaths. Breathing out of his nose. His nose is dry, he threw up some slimy mucus too. What could this be???
Avatar f tn I was VERY interested in the vet saying he could hear congestion in his nose... which goes with reverse sneezing. I was also interested in the report that the dog licks a lot. Well, our dog is blowing his coat at an unexpected time because we had balmy weather when normal is very cold this time of year. He licks his coat, of course, all the time, and we do our best to keep up with the big white clumps of fur coming off him.
Avatar f tn Gia is an Italian greyhound, age unknown, although she was rescued in 2009 and was full grown then. Several times a month for years her stomach starts crackling, popping, fizzling and making all kinds of weird noises and she will not eat when this is happening. In the last year she is sneezing and reverse sneezing and my vet can't seem to figure out what is wrong. His last solution was a steroid shot which seemed to reduce the number of sneezing incidents but not the reverse sneezing.
Avatar f tn Is it a proper sneeze (air blowing outward) or what's commonly referred to as "reverse sneezing"? Reverse sneezing can be frightening to see if it keeps on for a few minutes, but it's harmless - basically a kind of a hiccup. Our Dal gets reverse sneezing fits sometimes and we can usually stop it by rubbing his throat and getting him to move around a bit. That technique might help when your dog gets the sneezes from excitement.
Avatar f tn s fine now, it stopped after 2 or 3 times yesterday. So weird, maybe he is reverse sneezing due to allergies. We do live in the city, not too many plants around. Thank you again!!!!!
Avatar n tn This sounds very like what is called "Reverse Sneezing" . It is a bit of a mystery, as no-one knows exactly why this can occasionally happen. It has happened to my dog about 4 or 5 times since she has been with me (7-8 years) and she is very fit and well. So it appears whatever causes this symptom doesn't threaten the dog's health.
Avatar n tn My 6 yr old pug has started having these dry coughing episodes. They are non-productive although at the end of them sometimes she makes a hack or gag noise almost like she is trying to cough up a hairball. She is not lethargic and her eating habits are normal. She is otherwise completely normal. I have taken her to her vet twice and had her chest and throat x-rayed. He has listened to her lungs and heart and can't find anything abnormal other than a little clear nasal discharge.
Avatar m tn My little Pug mix rescue has turned into my pilot fish ever since his BFF, Olive, passed away a month ago. Olive was our beloved Lab. He is very clingy and seems to be mourning. We are even letting him sleep with us. How long will this insecurity last? Our dogs are our children.
Avatar n tn my sheltie coughs like she has something in her throat she wants to bring up. I took her to the vet and he couldnt find anything wrong with her. My daughter who was a vet tech said it is a reverse sneeze.Is there anything I can do to make it better?
Avatar n tn My 5 month old pug is currently in the hospital now they want to do an mri it’s been 2 days she has been unable to move on her right side and cannot stand. What wound up happening with your pug? Any improvement?
1622527 tn?1301644622 The only real advice I can give you is to take him to the vet for a thorough examination (Heart/Lungs, and bloodwork) That is the soundest advice I can think of, and if you could manage to find the cash to do that, one way or another....it would be a wise move. However, it is just possible this could be what is called "Reverse Sneezing". Google "Reverse Sneezing You Tube" and you will come up with videos of dogs with this.

Avatar m tn I. I'm 68 an have been on vikes for quite some time.3-4 yrs. I'm on not just for the heck of it but just had some back surgery that did not totally work right. Also have a totally blown shoulder. Have had a Rgt. knee replacement and do need a left one too. To top it off I have a left ankle that needs surgery. At my age ? BUMMER!! But I am blessed with a great wife and a great faith. Story here is I ran out of vikes so I am trying to withdraw.
Avatar f tn I have a 5 year old pug who recently scratched her cornea. When we first took her to the vet, he thought it was a regular cornea ulcer, so he treated with atropine sulfate and gentamicin sulfate and told us to come back in a week. When we returned, the scratch was still there, he performed a test with a Q-tip and said she was kind of on the border of having a normal cornea ulcer and a boxer ulcer.
