I have a six month female, healthly and happy. But every couple of day she acts like she has a furball in her throat (like a cat does). It last for around 30 second and wants she is done she acts fine and not in any pain. Its really scary. Please help it you have had this happen.

thanks

It sounds like reverse sneezing, which is fairly common in chis. I've never heard Jasmine do this, but my previous chi, Tia, did. Sounds almost like a duck honking to me, and it usually would happen when she was stressed, over excited or was running around in the house a lot.

If it is reverse sneezing, it is not serious and you can usually help to relieve it by calming them down. I would hold Tia, talk calmly to her and rub her throat lightly. This seemed to help.
