I gave Autumn a bath a little while ago and I think I got a little water down her nose. She started snorting and making the kennel cough sounds, not the gut sucking kind of kennel cough, like a light version of it. Now she's hacking and spitting up, not vomiting, spitting up. I haven't seen her get into anything to make her gag, if I got water down her nose could it cause her to act like this? I don't think it's anything serious or lasting but it concerns me. She's quiet right now, I wish we had sound on these forums. Sylvia

I just needed to say that it really was just a little water, of course it wasn't my nose, but I really hate to get ANY water in MY nose. Could the water have run right down into her lungs if the situation was right? Sylvia

My late baby Gracie used to do that to be dramatic! I think your girl is okay! Just watch her carefully!

Thanks for your concern and your response. Autumn had one final hacking, choking episode and has been fine since then. Sylvia

Sweetie - try putting water down your own nose and listen to the sounds you make as you cough and snort! That's how it feels - so no worries - it is uncomfortable for her, but not a healthrisk in any way *comfort*

Give her a day or 2 - if she still snorts you can take her to the vet...

Maybe she could still FEEL the water in her little nose ? I used to be a competetive swimmer and can tell you it that feeling can stay for quite a while - then moves to your throat - She may have also continued to cough because I think they get a little upset when they do that - Chanel has done that a few times when playing in the hose... and once she gets it out of her system she's fine and ready to go again...

I bet she looked beautiful after her bath

The first time I gave Toby a bath the same thing happened. It really scared me...I thought he had Kennel cough or something. But after about 1/2 hour or so, he stopped and all was fine again. Now when I bathe him I make sure not to get any water up his little nose.
