This might sound like a stupid question, but is there anything that can be done to actually prevent reverse sneezing? Occasionally Kosmo will get a really bad bout of this. The last time was the last "reverse sneezing" post I made, but it happened again last night. He started up with the reverse sneeze and I tilted his head toward the floor.. stupid me then I tried covering his nose because it wouldn't work and that made him freak out and gasp for air. I know some of you practice this, but it made him start choking and I'll never do it again. I hate when it happens. Last night it went on for a couple of minutes! I was trying to act calm but there the peanut gallery was across the way saying "what's wrong with him? You know, that's not normal." I took him on my lap and kept him in a position with his head down but even like that it would go away and come back and go away and come back. I don't understand it??? When I finally got it to stop for good then he started coughing. I am assuming the two are related but I am not a doctor so I don't know for sure. I eventually got him to take a drink of water which fixed the problem, but I don't like it when this happens, at ALL. What's weirder is that he was laying down I'm assuming sleeping and then stood up and it started. Nothing seemed to be the cause unless maybe his airway was relaxed when he was sleeping and he got up too fast?? I am wondering if there's anything that can be done to prevent this?? Has anybody else asked this questionto their vet?? And what kind of vet checks this out? Is there a such thing as a respiratory vet?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :flwr:
