I would guess that what you're experiencing is reverse sneezing. My Reuger does this quite a bit. It's like they just can't get a breathe. I learned on here that when they do that to put your hand over their nose. I don't know if it takes their mind off of it or if it calms them down but it usually works. When it doesn't work I'll pick Reuger up until it passes. I hope this helps. I don't think that it's anything serious.

Sebastian and Bentley do it all the time.... Usually when they get too excited. I've learned putting your fingers over their nose helps. I wouldn't worry about it.

Take him to a vet to get an xray if he has a collapse the xray will show it unless its in the beginning stages
