My dog sounds like he can't breathe, has a stuffy nose. Is it reverse sneezing?

Question

Woke up in the middle of the night to my dog sounding like he couldn't breathe, when I got up he seemed okay and he would eat his food fine. He is still what it seems to me is like breathing hard out of his nose almost like he has a stuffy nose or something. And his nose is extra wet. Is this a case of reverse sneezing I keep reading about? Is a vet trip needed? Hate seeing my little guy sick. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 16 lbs

It sure could be reverse sneezing and that is the most likely diagnosis based on your description. If Oliver is eating and drinking and acting fine then I would just monitor for now. If the "sneezing" or weird breathing happens again, or if he stops eating, I would get him to the vet for an exam. Try to video tape the episode so you can show your vet what you are talking about. That would be very helpful. Hope this helps. Best wishes. If you have more questions feel free to post again!
