reveres breathing in dogs .

[dainty duck]

my wife's 5yr old whippet as started with this and the vet said it was a common problem and nowt to worry about ,

well in my 70 odd yrs living with dogs in house I have never come across this and it is quite distressing seeing the lad having an attack !

any input is most welcome please ?

My wife had a dog that would do it on a daily basis, never any ill effect from it to my knowledge, I have a Gsp that also has it/does it every now and again normally after savaging her food to quickly - again never any ill effect. I just give her a slow calming stroke/belly rub and she stops of her own accord and swiftly goes back to her food.

not much help I know but hopefully a bit of re assurance that you shouldn’t worry 👍🏻

I have had dogs in the past that have done this and the youngest Lab we have has it occasionally. None have suffered any ill effects, I liken it to humans clearing their noses by sharply inhaling rather than blowing into a hanky.

Our dog started doing this after visit to vets for annual vaccination. I was naive at the time and stupidly I agreed to kennel cough vaccination (put it in his nose) shortly after this he developed reverse sneezing (breathing).Afterwards I learnt it has happened to other dogs who have had kennel cough vaccine. My big mistake. When it occurs I gently stroke his throat and it goes away.
