Snorting Dachshund

Question
I have a 1 year  old female  Dachshund that started making this snorting noise. Is it normal or do I have something to worry about? I know she scares me. She acts like she can't breath. Please let me know. Thank You

Answer
Snorting could be a sign of congestion - are there any other signs?  Look for nasal discharge, trouble breathing, wheezing noises, gets out of breath after exercising, etc.  I would get her to your vet and have her checked.  Snorting and acting like she has trouble breathing can be a sign of several things and no sense in taking any risks when a trip to the vet will sort it out.  I hope she feels better soon!
