What a scary story but thankfully it seems that the crisis has passed (and hopefully will never return!) Please give that sweetheart a kiss from all of us. Both of my dogs do the reverse sneezing. I always thought it was possibly allergy-related but, whatever the cause, it is agonizing to watch at times.

P.S. Sometimes caps are interpreted as shouting so I very rarely use them. I know Phred meant well. (Thanks for editing your post Phred. )
