Hi Betty. This is very common in small breeds... especially chis. It happens when they get too excited or drink too fast. It's called reverse sneezing, not to be confused with collasped trachea. Do a web search on reversed sneezing and collasped trachea. Then you will know the difference. With reverse sneezing you can rub the throat area and it will normally stop. The dog just needs to swallow and calm down a bit. Fifi does this too. ~Lacey
