new corgi owner, snorting ??

[casngreg]

Hi I am a new corgi owner. I just got a 1 yearold corgi and it makes some strange noises!! He snorts like a pig alot!! Is this normal? If so why does it happen?

Welcome! My eight year old Duchess does what sounds like a reverse snort. It really bothers her and makes her anxious when it happens. I just try to keep her calm and it only lasts about a minute.
Please tell us how you happened to get a one year old corgi? I got my girl when she was seven. Had her about a year and a half and love her very much.

Maybe he has a breathing condition. You might want to check with the vet. It doesn't seem normal for a Corgi to be snorting like a pic. Is he overweight?

If you do a search for snorting, you will see several thread regarding snorting.

I have one who occasionally snorts and one who yodels and arooos. THey both make some funny sounds.

Jane is right it is reverse sneeze.
It can sound really scary and can last a minute or two.

I also wanted to add, I can run through the house and get Darci to chase me and she will return to normal pretty quick. It gets her to bark or take a deep breath and it will pull her out of the attack.

She seems to be more prone to it when the seasons change, giving a little benadryl when everything is blooming seems to help a little as well.

Egan has never had this happen.

Welcome! My Zia (a 6 month old r/w pem) also snorts. I've never had a dog that makes as many different noises as she does. She sighs, moans, aroos, snorts, etc.
