yes, they are two different things. reverse sneezing is simply an annoying "thing" they do. A collasped trachea could be a serious health issue and needs to be seen by a vet. Even if the trachea problem is one that is not serious at the moment, it could worsen over time....where as the reverse sneezing is not realy something to worry about unless it is causing other issues....like keeping the dog from ever being able to rest comfortably, ect.....
