It could be a reverse sneeze. Hard to say for sure without seeing the action in person or having a video of it. Here is a video you can use to reference from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1UyBrb0Hhpk However if this is not the case, because you mentioned your pet is panting also, then it's best to take Tess to your local vet for a proper examination at that point. Panting can be a sign of pain, lung disease, or even anemia just to name a few. Whatever it is needs to be visualized to hopefully better classify what it is and get treatment, if indicated. I wish you all the best with Tess's care.
