yea...what you are describing is probably reversed sneezing. It can be a whole bunch in a short time or it can be a few and far between deal. Two things to keep an eye out for that can be similar are collapsed trachea and kennel cough. The first is most often a result of collars...which is why a chi should not wear a collar. The second is very similar to a human cold....very annoying, very contagious, but usually not very serious. BUT, the things described here sounds more like simple reversed sneezing. Marsha
