Thank you Marsha...I feel better now....I don't wear collars on my 
Chihuahuas...because of the trachea issue...and like I said...my parents have 
the brother to my Sox...and he does the same thing. I don't keep collars on my 
cats either...I just rescued a beautiful tabby...she's 7 years old,,,everyone 
thought she was too old...anyway...the poor baby originally was adopted from a 
cat rescue center...when they got her in...she had a collar embedded in her 
neck! I put "necklaces" on my dogs at the holiday times...but I make sure 
they're very loose fitting...and my dogs don't go outside without me...and my 
cats don't go out unless they're in a carrier or I'm holding them...thanks 
again!

  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.

    Hi...is this REVERSE SNEEZING thing...when they have an "attack" or 
whatever you want to call it...is it kind of like they might be having an 
asthma attack? My one Chihuahua and my parents Chihuahua both do that...if 
not...does anyone know what this might be? Thanks~~~Sharon

        My dog Belle, 4 1/2 months occasionally makes the snorting /sniffing 
noise. I'm not sure if something is in her throat or nose. Does anyone elses 
dog do this??
