Suffocating Pug

This is what happens when a pug can't breathe, it tries to reverse sneeze. It's quite funny. No animals were harmed during the filming of this video.

This is a reverse sneezing attack, my pugs have them all the time. Best thing you can do is calm them and rub their throat to get their soft pallet to go back down.

I'm no Vet but it sounds to me like laryngeal collapse (pushing/pulling of air). I am familiar with this as I have had 3-pugs. See my video on "Sasha the Miracle Pug". I would suggest that you find a Vet who is familiar with this as it is progressive (meaning it will only get worse if not corrected). As the cartilage becomes strained it collapses and will never restrengthen. Depending upon the cause corrective surgery may help. Research laryngeal collapse.

whenever it happens press a little on the chest area with two fingers.

OH WOW THANKS GOD THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY DOG AND ITS NORMAL!

my pug does the excact same thing and i thought he had bad problems but seeing this relived me soooooo much!!

THANKS!!

I am soooooo relieved to see this! I thought my little black pug had a real problem until a family friend said her little shitz-hui (?) does the same thing.

and mare bare is right. this is good for other pug owners to see. as painful and sad as it was to watch. just makes me think of how panicked i get when my pug reverse sneezes.

i usually just tried to pry his mouth open because i assumed it had to do something with his tongue. and i agree with juliey your pug IS adorable.

I had no idea it was called reverse sneezing!! My pug, Mr. Tibbs, does this too. It always helps to hold him and rub his neck. Your pug is ADORABLE!!
