What is reverse sneezing?
The Short Answer
Scary but usually Harmless
It sounds like a honk or snort. The dog is pulling air in rapidly to clear irritants. Gently stroking the throat or covering nostrils briefly can help stop it.
When to worry
If it becomes chronic, it could be nasal mites or a polyp.
