My dog makes wheezing sounds...kennel cough?

Bailey (cairn terrier poodle) makes these weird wheezing sounds maybe twice a day. The vet gave him some antibiotics for tracheobronchitis but this doesn't sound like a kennel cough to me.... Poor thing. He also said the dog "might" have a heart murmur.

Hey, I don't know how I came across this video, but my dog looks so similar to yours it's unbelievable! Where did you get him from? We got ours from a shelter near Atlanta.

I hope he's doing better!

@chicagoatheart77 Really?? I would love to see a picture of your dog! What kind is he? I got Bailey from a shelter in southern CA :)

Two of my dogs started doing this after we moved to Arizona and they were digging in the dirt and sticking their noses in rodent holes. My vets don't find anything wrong with them. Could be an allergic reaction to dust?

@KachemakKaren This was in the weeks after he came home from the shelter. It's been months now and he's all better, I think.  I hear the wheezing mayyybe once a month but doesn't last as long :)

It looks like a reverse sneeze.

When one of my dogs do this I usually rub the throat and give them some water and they stop and s

Omg my dog does this too sometimes and i've been wondering what it was... its so strange

[DebiPalermo]

No, its not kennel cough. the dog is backward/ reverse sneezing and if you have him swallow when this is happening, it will stop. Basically the dog will start doing it and then panic that he/she cant breath. If you just calm him/her down and hold their snout so he/she will swallow, they will realize theyre okay and they can breathe.

My sheltie does this and we though he had athsma. Then we found out the truth. Your dog will be find there is no cause for concern.

My Siberian Husky just started doing this. We recently moved to south Florida from South Carolina. Maybe it's the weather change? We also have a yard here he rummages through all day. Lots of dirt so the allergy thing could make sense.
