Guest IndyHound Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ok My 4 almost 5 yr old female grey Goldie had this thing (and ive attached a video link) where she starts to heave mostly this is done after she eats but not always. This is the first time that she's done it before eating. Shes not doing it constantly just every once and a while. But like a noob Ive fallen victim to an internet search and am wondering if this could be bloat or something else. She right now is calmly laying next to me but is still doing it in short in frequent increments. Anyone else have any history with this?http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n63/wmhpm/?action=view¤t=1fba6b2d.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubcitypam Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I agree with reverse sneeze. My first yorkie did that and scared me to death until my vet told me what it was. Maybe e-mail your vet the video and ask his/her opinion? She is beautiful and looks like someone I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Looks and sounds like reverse sneezing. Several of mine do this on occasion.

Guest KsFrets Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Magnus is the only one of our three that does the reverse sneeze. We've never really figured out why... sometimes when he eats too fast. Sometimes when he gets excited too quick after waking from a nap. Sometimes totally out of the blue... like in the middle of the night. It doesn't happen often, once or twice a week tops, sometimes he'll go a month or two without doing it.

Guest IndyHound Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thank you all its a relief to know what it is. But just to make sure will forward it to my Vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eyeblaura Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Enzo does this too, daily it seems. Almost always first thing in the morning. Very scary at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAJ2010 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's a reverse sneeze. Rainy does it when her allergies act up. If you can get them to breathe through their mouths the spasm stops. Sometimes massaging their throats works, getting them to lick a thin layer of PB off a large plate, getting them to eat a cookie, going for a walk outside (usually makes them open their mouths to pant), some say rescue remedy helps stop an attack, etc. I usually give Rainy a couple allergy pills and give her something to chew on until they kick in.

Guest capers7 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I had a poodle that used to do this, though she was a lot louder than that. I agree with all the things, though rubbing her throat seemed to work well with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 That looks like a reverse sneeze to me That's what it looks like to me, too. And me. Sometimes stroking or rubbing the throat helps, too. Quote The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twogreytkids Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 All of my male hounds have done it at one time or another. I agree with stroking the throat area. Marcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudzu Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Another vote for reverse sneeze. Venus starts to do this when she gets excited about getting a treat. The older she gets the more she does it. As a result I've given her the nickname Eefin Annie. My parents' dog does this when her allergies kick up.
