Did you know about ‘Reverse Sneezing’?
Your first thoughts may be that your dog might be choking, coughing, or may even be suffering an asthma attack. It may even give you a minor panic attack as an owner if you’ve never heard your dog burst out into these grunting gurgling sounds!
But fear not, these are usually quite normal.
Some dogs have a condition known as paroxysmal respiration, more commonly called reverse sneezing. With this condition, the dog rapidly pulls air into the nose, whereas in a regular sneeze, the air is rapidly pushed out through the nose. The dog makes a snorting sound and seems to be trying to inhale while sneezing.
Allergies to pollen and plants, and excitement are some of the most common triggers for reverse sneezing episodes. Instead of sneezing as a response to these environmental factors, dogs may reverse sneeze. Nasal mites can also sometimes be a contributing factor in reverse sneezing.
Brachycephalic breeds, like boxers, pugs, and bulldogs, are more likely to have this condition, as well as tiny and small breeds (because they have smaller throats).
While the occasional reverse sneeze is usually nothing to worry about, if it increases in frequency or becomes worse, it's best to have your pet seen by your veterinarian.

Meet ‘Klip’ (translation: Stone) 💚
This gentle tortoise came to us with symptoms of lethargy (tiredness) and anorexia (reluctance to eat). We discovered a foreign body in his system as well as unusual lung patterns. He was clearly in some discomfort. So we treated him to a soothing bath, followed by supportive treatment, rehydration, and kept cozy for his stay at the clinic.
We were concerned that the foreign body may have perforated but luckily it moved through Klips system and soon he was starting to feel better. He even felt good enough to eat some apple 🍎
We are so pleased that you’re feeling better gentle dude! 💚 Dr. Marelize Greyling Engelbrecht

Proof that cats will eat with their cone (e-collar) on! 😋🐱🪡
It may not be a dignified look. It may not be fun. But ‘The Cone of Shame’ is an integral part of the healing process for pets with post-operative stitches/sutures. Don’t be tempted to cut the cone to make it more ‘comfortable’ for your pet. They just need to figure it out in time.
Sorry little one, but it’s for your own good! We will make sure that you feel better soon! 💚
