Pet's info: Dog | Shar Pei | Female | spayed | 9 months and 21 days old | 40 lbs
My shar-pei is making a weird snorting sound. She started doing it 2 days ago. On Monday she had her surgery done to fix her entropion eyes. Why is she snorting? She's never done that before.

It could be that Hazel is reverse sneezing. The cause of this could be due to stimulation of the lining of the sinuses by things like infection, parasites, irritants or mechanical stimulation. Given that she is seeing the vet on Monday for surgery, I would give your vet a call tomorrow to let them know you are seeing these signs in Hazel. They might want to see her tomorrow for an exam.
