    gasping for air

    I found Kai gasping for air a few times in the past few days. We're taking him to the vet today...hope he's all right... has this every happened to someone? I was afraid he had chocolate at first..because we found some chocolate on the floor...and I thought that maybe he ate some. He seems to gasp lightly for about 20 seconds or so...a few times a day..and he vomited his meal right back up yesterday..

    Keep us posted. Hope everything turns out OK.

    Does his gasp sound a little like a snort? We had a thread about that recently and I think it was called 'reversed sneezing.' I know all of the dogs that I have ever had have done it at one time or another but I don't know the cause. I never had it appear at the same time as vomiting, though, so it is very wise to check with your vet. Please keep us updated and I hope Kai will be fine.

    I was also wondering about the "reverse sneezing" that Pam mentioned. Reggie has done that a few times, and it really freaked me out!

    How's Kai doing???? Sounds like it could be reverse sneezing. Is he acting short of breath (labored) or is it more of a gasping/choking type sound?? I hope the Dr. had some answers.... Get well, sweetie, please.
