Hi Deb, Kennel cough is really common and treatable if that's what it is. Another idea is allergies. My dog has always had allergies that result in "post-nasal drip". It sounds like rapid in and out breathing. My mom's dogs have the allergies too, but they sound like they're snorting, even snoring, rapidly. In all cases, they do it for several seconds and stop, then repeat it a couple more times. The vet says they do this because the post nasal drip irritates the back of their throat but that there's not much that needs to be done about it other than have them eat food designed for dogs with allergies. I'd take Gordie in if it gets worse, of course, but if it doesn't then it just might be something that can wait. Good Luck! Stacy

Can someone tell me if they know what this might be, and if there is anything that I can do without having to take her to the vet because I dont have the money until after first of the month. > > I know that if there is an emergency, that I can get her there and find a way to get the money, but if there is something that I can do from home, then I would like to try that first. > > Hugs > Deb > " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
