My Ruby and I worked out long ago that when I say breathe Ruby she stops swollows and starts breathing properly right away. She is 13 now and my little Queen. She will soon start to train Ruby the 3rd. My nick names change but I keep Ruby for my Ruby's and Charles and Charlie for my tri-color. I've owned a lot of dogs none have given me greater joy then the Cavaliers. I've told friends the difference between a stuffed animal and the Cavaliers is the amount of love they give and its a pure love.
My cavalier snorts when she’s exited, often when people visit our home, I was recommended to hold the dogs nose/muzzle down like bow there heads down and this helps open up the throat and calms the snorting.
Bella is such a precious little girl!! My Katie makes that sound when she's excited. My little girl also snores and snorts like the big boys...lol. I really like your channel!!!💞
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My Gypsy (Blenheim) has been doing this, I didn't know what it was, even my vet at the rescue center couldn't tell me! She gets very upset and all I can do is comfort her through it. So Gypsy thanks you as well! I get so much information from you, so very helpful! I just love ❤️ watching your videos 🐶
Thank you very much! I am a new Cavalier owner and was scared the first time it happened. When Fiona is excited she does snort but not all the time. Your videos are very informative. Thank you!
Thank you sir God bless you. I heard somebody comment that on another video I didn’t know if that was real or not but people claimed it worked so I’m so happy that you showed this video. God bless you you can help a lot of people with their dogs.😁❤️
It’s a very scary sound and with my eyes their facial expressions is also scary - big bulging eyes. I’m used to it by now can just call out “breath though your mouth hunny” and give them a cuddle when their done.
Thank you for this informative vlog as my Cavalier infrequently does this when she gets extremely excited. Until now I had no idea as to the underlying cause ... and yes ... it was very scary to witness not knowing what was going on. I checked out several entries online. It's called paroxysmal respiration - dog rapidly sucks in air. Recommend treatment: * Holding the dog's nostrils closed for a second * Lightly massage the dog's throat to gently calm the dog. * Lightly blowing in the dog's face may also help Goal: to cause the dog to swallow a few times, which usually stops the spasm of the reverse sneeze.
Bella is the cutest little pup. Great video our King Charles has this too. I lift her head and rub her throat like you were doing and it takes it right away. Good to know it’s not severe.
Great imitation! And, yes, it's a very, very scary sound. The first time we heard it (in a Shetland Sheepdog), we rushed to the vet (unnecessarily--not only had it stopped by the time we got there, but the vet explained what it was and that it isn't harmful to our dog--and our imitation wasn't as good as yours). It isn't limited to small dogs or short-nosed dogs, though. We had Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds for many years and both breeds had this happen occasionally. It's quite a sound coming from a Great Dane or Irish Wolfhound!!
The medical term is called Hyper-trachia many small breeds have it my palpillion had it ...Your right! It sounds horrible but if you softly rub the neck from there chin down they stop right away because they hold there head back and air get through stopping the spasm.Thanks for this video ...I subbed!
Mon petit cavalier Charlie le faisait de temps en temps également. Je le rassurais en lui posant ma main sur le haut de son dos. Et cela disparaissait comme par magie. Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo.
Thank you for this very informative video. My Boston Terrier mix does that every so often and I thought he was checking. I usually rub his neck up and down to relieve this snorting.
It's nice to see you again. Chester snorts when he is really excited. I'm not really worried about it, however it is great to now how to stop it now if I need to. Chester turned one on the 14th. Woohoo
Aw, thank you. I took Spencer to the vet emergency room at 2 am one morning with his first reverse sneezing attack. Scared me to death!!! I thought he was going to die!!! I know now that I over-reacted in the extreme but I was that scared. He was fine.
You're not the only one! When we first heard this, we were on the way to the vet in two seconds! Luckily, we didn't hear it at 2 a.m.--that must have been especially scary to wake up to that! We were convinced our little baby couldn't breathe and that she'd be dead by the time we got to the vet. By the time we got to the vet, she was fine and we felt rather foolish. Our vet took it in stride and assured us she'd rather have folks brings dogs in for "nothing" than have something wrong and then they don't see the dog until it's too late. Since then, we've had a number of "foolish" things checked out and we no longer feel foolish for doing so.
@@janhankins911 i am so glad I am not the only one!!! I am so sorry that you had to live thru it … it is so scary!!! I thought he was going to stop breathing!!! Take care of your little one!!! Sending love from me & Spencer (3 yr old Blenheim).
Hey, welcome back. I was wondering what happend. I thought someone got covid or something. Hope everything is ok. Bella is in season so i hope that means puppies soon.
Everything is good. Just really busy looking into stud dog arrangements in case we decide to breed Bootsie, helping to place a rescue Cavalier for a friend, and celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Now that all that's over, I can do some new videos! Thanks for asking.
@@chaskat35 glad everything is ok. Glad everyone is safe. Happy anniversary. Hope it was great. Im looking fwd to ur vlogs. Hope the rescue cav gets a great loving home. I know u will find a great home. Gluck with everything u do.
I have a Cavapoo who does the same thing when she gets excited. Thanks for the tip. Are you still considering breeding Bootsie when she comes into her next season? We have missed. I was wondering how you and your family were doing? You have a beautiful Cavalier family!
We are doing just fine, thank you. Over the last few weeks, we've been looking into stud dog arrangements if we do decide to breed Bootsie, helping to place a rescue Cavalier for a friend, and celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Now that all that's over, I can do some new videos!
Thank you!! My sweet girl does this and it was so scary the first time we heard it! Do you have any suggestions for taking care of a dog during their season? My girl just started hers (9 months old) and it was difficult to find information on what to do. She started showing some signs but at the time I wasn’t fully knowledgeable of what was going on with her. She’s my first girl. She wasn’t eating well and what not so I began to worry. This information would be helpful to me and I’m sure many many others!
There’s really not much for you to do during her season. She will discharge some blood for a week or so, but the full season lasts about 3 weeks. As long as her vulva is swollen and she emits a strong odor, she’s still in season. During this time, don’t let any male dogs near her. Mine don’t usually lose their appetite, so I would hope that your girl’s will come back quickly. If the blood is a bother for you, you can get panties made for a dog, and put an absorbent mini-pad in it. That will help with your furniture.
One of my cavaliers (she’s the same age as Jamba give or take a week, because I remember watching his litter while waiting for my pup to be old enough to come home with me) was diagnosed by my vet with collapsing trachea. Are we talking about the same thing here? Be useful to know if this will help
No - collapsing trachea is different, and can be much more serious. It is caused by a weakening of the cartilage rings in the throat. Depending on what stage your dog is at, it may very well be treatable with diet, medication, and special care such as using a harness instead of a collar. Be sure to keep discussing this with your vet.
@@chaskat35 thanks Charlie. Had to ask cause it seems counter intuitive to do. She’s not so bad right now but no more collars for her even around the house (I normally keep one on them loosely so they have a tag with my name and phone number on it if they get loose somehow. They’re chipped but people don’t walk around with scanners on them to look for one, much quicker if they have my phone number right away.) I have always walked my dogs with a harness anyway so that part isn’t a problem. She gets regular checkups with the vet to keep an eye on it.
I'm not a vet, but no, it isn't the same thing. A collapsing trachea is much more serious and does require veterinary care and careful management and supervision--a reverse sneeze doesn't. I like using a harness because too much pulling on a collar is one cause (but it isn't the only cause--there are other causes, as well). Be sure to keep in touch with your vet about this!!
Please never cut off your dogs breathing! The reverse sneezing will fix itself. Cutting off your dogs breathing will not help the situation. Think I am wrong? Ask your vet if they think you should ever do that.
I have chihuahua and she snorts 3 time a week... but two days ago she was vaccinated against kennel cough. She sneezes like this quite often today and I'm worried. It will pass? Is it just because of the vaccination because the nose is itchy and sneezing?
Was it a nasal vaccine? That would seem to be the only way the vaccination would increase her snorting. Keep an eye on it, and be sure to get to the vet if it becomes continuous and acute.
@@chaskat35 Yes, nasal vaccine... I think today it was a bit better, I study a lot about it and your videos help too... Thank you and all the best from Slovakia. :)
It's dangerous to stop your dog from breathing. Ask a real vet! Gently rub their throat to calm them and get them to swallow. I didn't appreciate this man stopping his dog from breathing and the dog starting to panic! Awful!
Sorry you don't think this is a good idea. Here is one (of many) real veterinary source that recommends this technique, as well as stroking the throat: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/reverse-sneeze-in-dogs
