Light Panting Breathing?

Oh i just remembered, there's also some times when she all of a sudden breathes like shes choking through her nose or something. It's hard to explain. She's not choking but its like she has something in her throat and shes exhaling really sharply and harshly through her nose really quickly. She seems to do it sometimes when she's excited or sometimes just out of nowhere. I have no idea what it is.

I wanted to see if anyone had any insight on it before taking her to the vet. My family has a thing with taking them to vets (or people to doctors) without anything really really wrong with them because of the costs.

Reverse Sneezing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_sneezing

Are you sure the panting doesn't have anything to do with the weather?

hmm, you may have got both of them right. I never really thought about the weather, she has just started around summer. I didn't think much of it, i just thought thats how dogs tend to breathe/pant. It was just she was doing it while she was inside too.

and the reverse sneezing thing, that just may be it. I have to check to make sure its inhalation and now exhaling. It looked like she was exhaling last time. if there was only something on the internet like a little sound clip of it. 'make rapid and long inspirations, stand still, and extend his head" sounded just like it. the noise really scares me though. my other two havaneses don't do it.

EDIT: actually just looked it up on youtube and yup, that's it. I'm sure it is. This is such a relief, thank you so much for bringing that up! :hail:
