Its called a reverse sneeze. nothing really serious jus gently rub the neck and check to make sure thr collar is not too tight if ur dog has one. I have a pug n i panicked at first then did some research and found out shell b fine.
I have a sliky also. She does this once in a while. The breeder called it a "reverse sneeze" and it's nothing to worry about. Totally normal for Silky terriers and those breeds closely related. She does a fair amount of "grunting" also. My wife calls them puppy grunts. She does it when she is very content....like when bacon has been served.
haha was it a old man, because my friend bought a dog from a old man and the dog was snorting and he said "O ya, he does that alot near me, he just wants to talk."
Thanx Daniel for sharing your baby with us. I don't think you are dumb or mean. I think maybe you didn't realize that he needed a drink. My silky sometimes does that because he has allergies. Again..thanx Daniel.
This is common for small dogs, especially for old terriers. Our dog makes that sound sometimes (she is an australian terrier like your dog). The breeder call it "terriercough".
But it's great that you checked it out. It could collapsing trachia.
I was concerned when my little rescue silkese did this. The vet did multiple radiographs to be sure he did not have collapsing trachia as is common in some small dogs. He did not. Many small dogs do this, but it is good to get it checked out.
People who don't know anything about dogs shouldn't comment. This is a very common thing called a reverse sneeze. It can be caused by things such as gulping food, drinking too fast, or getting excited or nervous. It does not mean the dog is sick.
Good for you! I have had 3 poodles in my 40 years and all 3 of them made that snorting sound all of the time. In fact our dogs did it long and hard for about 90 seconds at a time. The vet always said it was normal and that it was a trait in some pure breaded dogs. Usually the smaller dogs did this.
i hope everyone reads this, the dog is not fucking sik, it happened once and we just happened to video record so stop sayin its sik and im an idiot for not taking it to the doctors ,we gave it some water and it hasnt done it since.
@Wildwacht Dog is not sick. This is a genetic " reverse sneeze" that all silky terriers do. Mine will do it when excited, like when bacon is involved.
I have had heaps of aussies. I have had ones that snort, but I have also had one that snort gasps like yours. It has heart worm, little dog like that can't survive the treatment, sorry dude.

yeh man i did take her to the doctors, and they said she was fine
daniel3203 4 years ago
that happened to my last dog, in the end he had to be on tablets because his trachia would collapse, it was like he was having a fit the poor thing.
in the end he passed away its good that you took it to the vet to get your dog checked out.
I'm just glad my dog died peaceful at home and I didnt have to take him to the vet to put him down.
I now am blessed with a beautiful maltese pomeranian who is 11 months
