What is this?

Tonight, while enjoying quiet time on the couch with Ms. Olive, something that has never happened before occurred and freaked me right out.

My son came upstairs, Olive was asleep. Once she heard him, she woke up, stood up, put her little bat ears back, wiggled her butt and started making this loud snorting/wheezing noise. Her eyes were big and it seemed to me like he startled her and she was having a difficult time breathing for a minute.

Anyone know what this is? It scared me.

Sounds like a reverse sneeze to me. Look it up on Youtube and see if it matches was Olive did.

[MENTION=716]FrenchieDante[/MENTION] Yep, that's exactly what she did.

they can be scary when first experienced, but just use two fingers to cover the nostrils and it will stop

Yep they will scare you the first time they do it, but it doesn't hurt them and as [MENTION=2]2bullymama[/MENTION] has said, just cover both nares with your fingers and it will stop.
