During our lecture we had talked about reversed sneezing and how it to the owner could look like the dog is dying. It is common in small dogs. I have realized that it is what my parents dog Sookie does. It is not dangerous, it is just a way of the dogs to clear their nasal airways.
After our lab in dermatology the dog started doing just this. We thought he couldn't breath and no one knew what to do, the teacher then comes out and says "That is reversed sneezing!!".
I didn't get a video of when he was doing it really dramatically but here is a little taste.
