Drew0311 asks: "My dog keeps doing this snorting thing. Like his throat is clogged up. Anyone else have a dog doing this right now? Thanks in advance."See my reply in the forum and learn about a common cause of canine snorting. As always, if you suspect that your pet has a problem is just isn't quite normal health-wise, please see your veterinarian for diagnosis and any necessary treatment.

Yeah my beagle keeps doing it!
I thought it was Kennel Cough but he’s done it a while now
my beagle is doing it too! he has been for about two weeks. we have tried cleaning it out with a baby nose aspirator but it doesnt seem to be helping, any suggestions?
My dachshund mix is doing it right now, and has been for the last ten minutes or so. It’s not reverse-sneezing hacking, more like a mucusy snort thing.
It happens sometimes, sounds like he snorted something into his nose or throat or something…?
Any advice would be appreciated!
My 13yr old shih tzu started “coughing” yesterday. it sound like he has something stuck in his throat. He hasn’t eaten or drank much today. He did have a ruptured anal gland last week and was given some antibiotics. Could have have gotten the swine flu since being on antibiotics lowers his immune defensive system? I think he could have the flu and this is the first time I’ve heard him make this noise not backward sneezes and not a seizure.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks, Kim
My puppy (13 weeks old) starting that snorting noise tonight. She was also crying with it and running rolling on the floor like something was wrong. When I tired to pick her up she snapped at me and then jumped down. Earlier in the evening I caught her playing with a rock from the fire place. She had it in her mouth and I took it out. She has eaten a treat for me and drank a little water. I called the Vet and they want $125.00 just to call me back. Does anyone have any suggestions???
