Hello, my dog Lulu has had moderate to severe episodes of reverse sneezing that started back in October, 2009. She was diagnosed 3 times by her vet as having kennel cough, but each time the episodes came back almost immediately after her meds were done. Her episodes can last 48+ hours, sometimes continuously and sometimes she has little breaks in between where she is resting quietly. It is very alarming each time it happens and I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same type of prolonged experience. Everything I've read about reverse sneezing indicates that an episode usually only lasts about a minute or two. Hers goes on for forever! Help!

After 8 months of wondering why Tayla would get the "dry heaves" and never throw up anything I found this thread and again, the information on here was very important. I know think I know she is just "reverse sneezing" and can probably stop worrying. She only does it on ocassion, but she has done it three times in the last several days and I was getting concerned. It's really dry in Florida now and our back yard is a sand pit. I think she has some seasonal allergies.
