I am a new owner of a Shih Tzu. Jasper 6 months old now. I haven't had a dog in 30 yrs and this is my first of this bree. I feel like a new mommy, (I have empty nest syndrom bad) and this little guy scares me. One of the things that scares me is this reverse sneezing. First time he did it, I started crying and felt so helpless. I thought he was going to die. Yes, he does just like you say, maybe after eating, pulling on lease, ect. I've gotten use to it a little bit but still don't like to see him do this. I also have other issues with this guy too, but will try to ask for help later. I joined this group at least a month ago, but am so busy in my life that I haven't had much time here. Thanks for the information. Pam
