Скачать или смотреть Shiba makes GOOSE HONK noises (Reverse sneezing!)

Shiba reverse sneeze - she’s OK!
If your dog suddenly “honks” or does rapid snorty inhales, it might be a reverse sneeze - common in Shiba Inu and many small/short-nosed breeds.

What it is
Reverse sneezing = brief spasm of the soft palate/throat that pulls air in vs. out in a normal sneeze. It looks dramatic but usually lasts only a few seconds.

Why it happens
• Irritants: dust, pollen, perfume, cleaning sprays
• Excitement, pulling on the lead, gulping water/food
• Temperature or humidity changes
• (Less common) nasal mites, foreign body, dental/nasal issues

What it sounds/looks like
• “Goose honk” or snorting fit
• Head and neck extended, elbows braced
• Stops on its own; dog returns to normal

What to do in the moment
Stay calm. Gently stroke the throat/chest, encourage a swallow (a quick nose rub or offering water can help), and move away from irritants or outside for fresh air.

When to call your vet
• Episodes are frequent, last 1–2 minutes, or your dog seems distressed
• Nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, collapse, trouble breathing
• After grass-seed/foxtail exposure or if this is new in an older dog

Eevee’s clip is here to reassure curious Shiba Inu owners - this one ended in seconds and she was totally fine. Share this with someone who’s heard the “goose honk” and panicked!
