It almost sounds like your dog is sneezing, which is a normal occurence in dogs as well as humans. Dogs may sneeze when exposed to dusty conditions or unusual smells. If this occurs more often than once in a while, you need to have it looked at by a vet. She could have some kind of obstruction in the nasal passages, a polyp or cyst or even a tumor. Best not to let it go too long in that case.

Could there be a blood clot? This sounded the same as when I took a dog from down the street that had been hit by a car but then again she was hit. Anyways it sounds very serious, most people will say "taker her ot the vet fast". So you pretty much should just go instead of them telling you the most basic and simple answer.

Your dog may have a cold. Check to see if the nose is dry or wet. If the nose is dry then the dog is sick. Another idea is get the dog to the vet. Even if the dog does have a cold, its better to be safe than sorry!! good luck and I hope all turns out well!

she may not have swallowed her food properly - try giving her a rub up and down her throat
failing that GET HER TO A VET
if you were having problems breathing wouldnt you want medical treatment rather than hoping someone on the net would have an answer for you?

she may have a sinus infection it happens to dogs too. I would take her to the vet. You don't want to play around with this, cause if there is an infection it could mean trouble if you don't have it taken care of.

Sounds like just a reverse sneeze, but if you are concerned you should have her checked by a veterinarian.

Just to be safe have her checked for heart worms.

Please take her to the vet. Anything dealing with breathing problems is serious. Hopefully it will be just an allergy.
