I'm not even sure how to explain this. But, Bentley had an episode today (and he had one last Saturday also) where he was just fine, and then all of a sudden he was standing there, with his head and neck sort of out-stretched and making this awful snarfing/honking/snorting sound, I can't even really explain the sound just right. It only lasted about 30 seconds or a minute both times, but I can tell you it sure scared the crap out of me! He hadn't ate anything weird, that I could tell. And I don't feed rawhide chew sticks, or any kind of chewy things for that matter. He hadn't ate anything either. I do have a pet rabbit, he is a house-bunny, and sometimes there will be a few pieces of hay that gets out, but I don't know if this could be the cause. I'm not even sure if Bentley was choking, I've never seen a dog choke so have no idea. I wish I could give a better description of what it was like, but, he was sort of making a snorting sound, like sucking in air or expelling air..... Does this sound familiar to anyone, or anyone have any ideas? I was so shook up I was ready to call the vet. But, both episodes lasted very briefly and afterwards he was just fine. Makes me nervous now since I have to leave my dogs home alone while I am at work.
