Well my dog snorts alot!! It sounds so weird so I want to know why! I have read up and some ppl have said it is just a backwards Sneeze but that doesn't seem like it should be it. So if your dog does this or if you know why he does this please help!

It really could be a backward sneeze, or just that they have a cold. Vet check first, then find out other things.

Reversed Sneezing

A fit of sneezing, snorting, honking and wheezing are not necessarily a collpased trachea. Pulling on a leash (which a harness should always be used). Drinking to fast or excitement can cause reversed sneezing. This is usually caused by a elongated soft palate that is thought to become temporarily misaligned. It is a common trait in toy breeds. Although this may appear to be scary, it only last a few short seconds and can be ended by massaging the dog's neck and throat and encouraging the dog to swallow. Other ways to slow the reverse sneeze is to clap your hands, distract the dog or close off the dog's nostrils with your fingers, simply forcing them to breathe through their mouths and to swallow.
