Reverse sneezing is a condition that affects all types of dogs, but more commonly smaller dogs such as little Terriers, and brachycephalic breeds. It is a “paroxysmal” respiratory response, resulting in spasm-like episodes just like “traditional’ sneezing. Biewer puppies might do it when they are excited, after waking up, or after drinking water. Some do it a lot and some do it less. As Biewers get older, they usually grow out of reverse sneezing. There is nothing you need to do or to worry about. If you want to help stop it, rub your pup’s throat gently or you can also try to cover the nostrils for a few seconds.
