Lots of things can cause this sound, including allergies, brachycephalic syndrome in certain dog breeds, mass or polyp in the airway, infection, asthma, bronchitis, etc. If it seems to bother Gidget, gets worse, or is associated with coughing, increased respiratory rate, or profound lethargy, it should be checked out by a vet.
