How would you know if it's the collapsed trachae vs the reverse sneezing?

Some days, Maxx doesn't do it at all. Other days, it happens several times.

Maxx wears a collar but it's very loose.  So loose that it can slip out!

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.

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??
