아츄! 개의 역 재채기

우리는 때때로 먼지, 비듬 또는 다른 자극제가 우리의 코와 목을 자극하는 때마다 재채기를합니다. 똑같은 이유로 많은 강아지들이 재채기를합니다. 더 많은 체포 반응은 반대로 재채기입니다 : 강아지가 콧 구멍 뒤에서 자극물을 제거하기 위해 몸 안으로 공기를 빠르게 빨아들이는 반사. 많은 주인은 천식 발작에 대한이 시끄러운, whezing 거리는 에피소드를 실수하여 수의사에게 공황 및 비상 사태 여행을 유발합니다. 그러나 현실에서는 재채기 같은 것이 인간을위한 것처럼 놀라운 소리는 일부 개에게는 상대적으로 정상적인 삶의 일부입니다. 귀하의 송곳니 동반자는 역방향 재채기가 발생했을 때 고통스러워 보일지 모르지만 실제로는 대부분의 개에서 무해한 행동이며 영구적 인 악영향을 미치지 않습니다.
 
Reverse sneezing typically occurs when something irritates a dog’s soft palate (the fleshy bit at the back of the roof of his mouth) or throat. Whereas air is forced out through the nose in a regular sneeze, air is pulled rapidly in through the nose during a reverse sneeze. This causes a dog to make a loud snorting or gasping sound as he extends his neck and gulps in air.  It is a disturbing display, but veterinarians agree that reverse sneezing is actually fairly common in dogs. Smalls dogs are more prone to it due to their smaller air passageways, as are breeds such as pugs and bulldogs with elongated soft palates. Episodes can last anywhere between a few seconds up to a few minutes and may appear in dogs at any stage of life. Whether it’s allergies or mites, treating the underlying cause is the best way to prevent reverse sneezing. Some dogs simply have an attack when they’re excited, while other may reverse sneeze due to perfumes or household chemicals; exercise intolerance; pulling on a leash; or even eating and drinking. If an episode doesn’t end quickly, you can try helping your wheezing companion in several ways. Gently massage his throat to stop the spasm; cover his nostrils to make him swallow and clear the irritant from his throat; or press his tongue down to aid breathing. Different techniques work for different pets, so you will have to experiment gently to find out the best way to help your pooch.
 
Reverse sneezing doesn’t usually require treatment, but if it becomes a chronic problem, you should seek your veterinarian’s advice. As a general rule, if your dog is reverse sneezing more often than the average human sneezes, you should seek help. If allergies are the root of the problem, for example, your vet may prescribe antihistamines. He can also rule out other causes such as respiratory tract infections or foreign bodies that could be blocking your dog’s airway. Asthma, on the other hand, is vastly less common in dogs and is typically accompanied by a chronic cough. Though rare, dogs with asthma likely struggle more with exercising and fatigue and the condition is almost always caused by an allergic reaction to something in the environment.
