Backward sneezing or choking

Tia started making backward sneezes or choking noises after her 2 birthday. I gently rub her throat to help her relax, but sometimes it lasts 1 to 2 min. The Vet does not seem concerned but Tia is stressed when this happens. Is there anything else I can do to help her.

    If your dog has begun making backward sneezes or choking noises, there are several steps you can take to help. Ensure that your dog is not exposed to irritants such as dust, smoke, or strong odors, which can trigger these symptoms. Observing your dog for any signs of distress or underlying issues is also crucial. If the noises persist or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

    This differs from a regular sneeze where air is forced out of the nose- in reverse sneezing air is sucked
