I know a lot of us are all too familiar with the collapsing trachea/reversed sneezing that chis sometimes do. Usually when our doggies start it, we will gently put our finger over their nose so that they swallow; and that opens the trachea back and stops the spell right away.
Lately though I've found myself doing it more often for my Kahlua! Nothing else has changed for her except that it's been getting much colder lately. I wonder, do you all notice that your dogs have wheezing spells more often when it's colder outside?
Everything else is normal; eating fine, attitude fine; just seems that she's been having these spells 4 times a day now when usually it was much less. She doesn't have any other respiratory issues; no nasal discharge or anything else that would indicate a problem. And obviously our house is heated... but I'm wondering if maybe it's just too dry now and we should turn on our humidifier.
