SHIH TZU HAS ASTHMA

[vanessaminassian]

All you have to do is pick him up and blow into his nose and he will stop. Happens all the time with my Shih tsu.

thats no Asthma for sure. it's Reverse sneezing. this is not dangerous for him

[beigelycheenut]

@BenediktBast For sure. Because shih tzus have pinched faces they're prone to this sort of thing. Chihuahuas are also very prone to reverse sneezing. It's nbd. Cute puppeh!

I guess I should take my shih tzu running more often... I always thought my dog had a rare case but apparently dog asthma happens often.

best to rub the neck

My Shih Tzu/Poodle mix does this too, and the vet said it's called reverse sneezing. It's not fatal, and if you put your fingers on her nostrils, it helps to stop it.

My Shorkie (Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier) has asthma too, she always sticks her her head straight out and never moves her neck when she's trying to breath.

The way to help them get over it is to try to calm them down by talking to them and petting them, I rub her face, her throat, and her chest and it helps her stop. Also, make sure they drink some water.

My shih-tzu is doing the same thing, is this fatal? I'm taking him to the vet in two days, it's a horrible sound and I don't know what to do for him.

It's a reverse sneeze. Pretty common in the shih tzu.

My Shih Tzu does this too, usually at night.

ridiculous as YT rated my comments as spam!!! i was only sending information about that reverse breath among shih tzu and hope to reassure the master! im pissed

[YourGaurdianAngel13]

my Shih tzu's do the same thing. We just take them out for fresh air and it stops.

[troyzapanta]

toy dog with short nose usually have asthma... same with bulldog and pugs...

[erinsita1485]

My dog does this exact thing. I feel so horrible for him. I took him to the vet and of course he stopped doing it so they said he was fine. I don't know what to do!
