Question about my dog

I hope that I am doing this right. My dog, a Shih Tzu, is making snorting sounds like he has a stuffy nose. He just randomly started this this afternoon. There is no discharge and he acts like normal. Is it something that I should be worried about or does he just simply have a stuffy nose?

Observe the behaviour and see if it continues.

IT could be allergy or reverse sneezing even.

IF you're spraying or cleaning floors with toxic chemicals or air fresheners and even scented candles can even do it.

Certainly if it persists or if the dog is having trouble breathing common sense says go to the vet!

Good luck hope it just goes away.
