One of our Dogs is in an extra bit of need of Sselb-ing right about now.
The older one's had an odd condition for the past few days which can only be described, and therefore is known in the veterinary biz, as "reverse sneezing." It turns out to be an irritation of the soft palate, a more common condition with age, and is generally a benign condition unless it gets so out of control that it freaks out the dog (or, far more likely, her humans).
Emily caught Tasha doing it the other night and woke us both up with the ensuing panic. By the time we came to investigate, she was fine. Likewise yesterday, when Em was the first one home and Tasha greeted her with her ahh-ahh-oohc's; they went right back from wherever they came, and she seems totally unfazed by the whole business.
One of the recommended "cures" seems to be getting her outside, which she never minds unless it's raining (she loves snow, being a Honourary Labradorian and all), so we'll try that if it persists.
