Why Is My Dog Gasping & Honking? It Could Be a Reverse Sneeze!

“This post contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”

Although harmless in and of itself, a reverse sneeze can be rather alarming for dog owners to see and can be indicative of a more serious problem.

Reverse Sneeze

Reverse sneezing, also known as Pharyngeal Gag Reflex or Paroxysmal Respiration, is a relatively widespread respiratory condition in dogs that is normally triggered off by a spasm in the pooch’s soft palate as well as laryngeal area. It is often referred to as “reverse sneeze” because during the event, the dog is gasping air heavily inward, instead of simply expelling it, like in a typical sneeze.

What Happens During a Reverse Sneeze?

· Usually, dogs extend their neck as they gasp with loud and strong grunting sound. They are likely to turn their elbows out and their eyes may even stick out during the occurrence.
· Since the trachea becomes narrow, it’s even harder for dogs to get a sufficient amount of air into their lungs. As a result, their chest might expand as they try to inhale.
· During the episode, most owners would think their pooch is suffocating, choking, or even suffering from a seizure.
· Each occurrence of reverse sneezing only lasts for just a couple of minutes or less. The episode normally ends on its own without posing any threat to your dog’s health.

Fortunately, dogs appear normal both before and right after the event, without after effects. Dogs don’t lose their consciousness, and this phenomenon is often harmless, and rarely requires medical treatment.

Common Causes

Reverse Sneeze

Reverse sneezing can be set off by a wide variety of irritants and some forms of dog allergies. Pollen, dust, mites, viruses, post-nasal drip, nasal inflammation, perfumes, and household cleaners or chemicals are some of the known triggering factors. Other causes include exercise intolerance, rapid drinking or eating, pulling on leashes, and even excitement. It’s also very likely that sinusitis and other kinds of respiratory problems can lead to episodes of reverse sneezing.

Although any dog breed can experience this fairly common respiratory condition, it is more widespread in smaller pooches. Short-faced dogs like Boxers, Boston Terriers, Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus are found to be more at risk of reverse sneezing. It has been suspected that a genetic factor is involved with such kind of breeds.

Possible Treatments

· Antihistamines. If allergies have been discovered to be the main cause of the problem, antihistamine medications can be administered. Your vet may prescribe drugs if mites are found in the dog’s laryngeal area.

· Massage. Another way to treat reverse sneezing is through massage. To help stop the spams, just rub Fido’s throat gently.

· Others. You can also try to cover your pooch’s nostrils to help him swallow; clearing out whatever trigger is setting off the episode. In addition, if the occurrence doesn’t windup quickly, try depressing Fido’s tongue to open his mouth and help air to move through his nasal passages.

If episodes of reverse sneezing become more frequent or severe, or are accompanied by other symptoms, it’s important to have your vet examine your dog’s throat and nasal passages. Whenever possible, try to record a video of your dog during a reverse sneezing episode to show to your veterinarian. This will help him/her determine if the event is truly a “reverse sneeze” or if it is something that needs attention.

The video below shows what a dog’s reverse sneezing episode looks like and how to quickly stop it by covering your dog’s nostrils.

While reverse sneezing is harmless in and of itself, it will probably be scary for your dog. Comfort and soothe him during the event and remain calm, knowing that it will soon be over.

      There are several reasons why your dog could be shaking his head and rubbing his ears on the floor… an ear infection, ear mites, or very dirty ears that are bothering him. Make sure you clean them with a dog-safe ear cleaner regularly and if he persists with shaking and rubbing, get to a vet!

If I take my hands off of him he goes crazy til im petting him again.I don’t know what to do I’m just worried that something is wrong with him or if it’s just separation anxiety from being away from my dad please help

    Thanks for pointing out how vets can prescribe the right antihistamines to dogs with allergies. Our old dog recently started heaving and sneezing non-stop. He really had my daughter worried and stressed out, so I’ll be sure to bring him to the vet for his medications as soon as I get home.

    I have Boxer, he is only 21/2 years of age, the past few days he has had these R/S.EPISODES,that have really scared me, he has them before but only 4 a minute or better, then he’s over,for 3 days he’s having them 3 times a day, and he has allergies I give him prescribed med called Abequel spelling may be off? I think he’s got an minor sinus infection, I’m on a fixed income, since I’ve injury job related, but I this month I have not been able to purchase his meds, until my med leave, so he’s been without his allergy mrd,plus I’ve noticed him shaking his head scratching ears, sounds like mites, all this I feel has got him very weak frm lack of sleep, plus he’s not eating as well, or drinking water which I’ve encouraged him so he has now, but I’ve used straight benedryl, aka otc Allergy meds to try and dry up his nasal drip, and it’s helped very little. Today I’m taking him to BANFIELD VET. THE GIVE A FREE EXAMINE AND CONSULTATION, I’VE NEVER BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE MONEY WAS THIS TIGHT, his regular Verizon spoke to me by phone, because I’ve spent nearly a thousand Dollars with this office in Mobile, Al, called REHM ANIMAL CLINIC, HE’S G I T AN ENLARGED HEART, THE EKG, AND NO ANSWER THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR BEFORE FINAL TEST, HE HAS THESE COUGHS AND HACKING, NOTHING RELATED TO R/S, SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT A ONGOING TESTING OF YOUR DOG,AND THE MONEY THEY RECIEVE FROM ME FOR MEDS, ETC, THEY HAVE MISSED DIAGNOSED HIM WITH CARDO-MIOPOTHY,WHICH HIS A DEATH SENTENCED CAME BACK 3 DAYS LATER AND SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE THIS, DID NOT EVEN REFUNDED ME ON ABOUT 3 BOTTLES OF STEROIDS,AND OTHER PILLS, THAT NO LONGER WERE NEEDED ONLY 3 DAYS HE TOOK THEM. ANYHOW THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME BRING HIM IN AN THE NEW Dr. Said he sounds as if he’s got an infection with sinuses.
    So we will see, I can say if you have Pug dog, or bulldog boxer, etc like Max my Boxer, beware by cross-breeding dogs can be an outward beautiful dog and even their perspnslity, but they suffer as with Boxers,Great-Danes Cockerspanuels srry if any words are mis-spelled

    When this happens to my dog I put a little peanut butter on my finger and have her lick it off. The swallowing motion stops her from backward sneezing. This WORKS EVERYTIME. It can be a really scary thing to watch your dog go through, I’m glad I found a trick that works. If your dog has trouble with this, try it out and I hope it helps!

    Both my dogs, Beagle & Labrador, suffered from that on (luckily few) occasions.
    I intuitively covered their nostrils, assuming this was some kind of hyperventilation.

    After some investigating the web, I found out this had toe be “teverse sneezing”.

    Never knew this covering their nostrils would actually be te right way to stop it.

    My chia-mix had an episode the other night. scared the heck out of me. I automatically gave her Benadryl and gently rubbed her throat. I suspected allergies. I took her to vet and he told me he suspected reverse sneezing. I was told to give her Benadryl twice a day. He said the dosage I gave her was not enough. He recommended 25m twice a day. She weighs 18lbs. I also give her over the counter pills and give it to her in a greenie pill thing which she takes with no problem. She seems a lot better! Who knew!!

    I’ve had a few dogs that do this. I can’t remember who told me what to do, but I put my hand over their snout and tip their nose downward. I think it is supposed to move their epiglottis away from their tongue (opens up the throat). So, instead of having their neck extended, which seems to be a more natural position, I bring their muzzle down toward their neck. I don’t block their breathing or anything, just change the neck angle a little. To see what I mean, look up at the ceiling, you’ll feel your throat close off. Now, look slightly down toward the floor, below horizontal. It works for my pups.

    My shih tzu has been doing this for years. I still cannot get used to it. I have to leave the room so my anxiety doesn’t make things worse for him. I will try covering his nostrils next time and see if it helps. During an episode, more often than not, he vomits bile. Does this happen to anyone else’s dogs who is experiencing this? And should I still cover his nostrils or will that making the vomiting episode worse for him?

I don’t have to put enough pressure to lift him off his feet, just a bit of pressure. I think it must have something to do with the pressure being on his diaphragm but not sure. none the less, it works for him and is quick, easy, and painless. 🙂

He looks so pityful with his mouth pulled back. I rub his throat too and it helps. He take Theophylline once a day but his makes him very agggressive. he was on twice a day, but they lowered his dosage because of the aggression. Not aggressive with me, but the other dogs I have. He has a murmer too which scares me. it is very upsetting when your dog has this and really scares you when you hear it the first few times. Drinking water too fast makes him do it too.

    The part about the dog, “does not lose consciousness”, is incorrect in some dogs case. My mini Doxie, if it is a long bout of reverse sneezing, ends up without getting enough oxygen that she stiffens up and then keels over. This is because she doesn’t get enough oxygen to her brain and this is how a body reacts to that. Humans too.
