Accepted Answer

Dear Diana,

 

That is a reverse sneeze. It is not serious. Its similar to a human clearing their throat.

He may have a piece of grass in his nose or dust. Or he could have an oral issue. Check in his mouth for any abnormalities - roof, under tongue, between teeth and cheek pouches.

 

Get little noses pediatric nose drops for him.

 

I am concerned about the tylenol as he only weighs eleven lbs so I would mention it to his vet.

 

Please let me know how he is doing. I hope he will be fine.

 

Warmest best wishes,

 

Terri
