Is it Normal for My Dog to Reverse Sneeze Repeatedly?
-
Quite normal. If she keeps having reverse sneezing, have her checked immediately, as it could result in inflammation of the airways and potential swelling. In many cases an antihistamine or a decongestant will effectively reduce the dog's involuntary reflexes.

This could be reverse sneezing, your dog might have something stuck in his nasal cavity (usually a grass seed), I would recommend having it checked by a vet if it carries on for more than 24 hours.

Often, this will happen if your dog has something in her nose or the back of her throat that's irritating her - a bit like what happens if we get pepper or dust in our nose :) You can offer her some water or a few treats to help get her to swallow, but the reverse sneezing should resolve on its own. If it continues for more than 3-4 hours, then I would recommend having her checked by a vet just to be safe - in rare cases, dogs may do this if they have a foreign body stuck in their nasal cavity or some other issue that may need treatment.
