Reverse sneezing: Rapid forced breathing through the nose. Usually because the dog has something in his nose but sounds a lot worse than it is, keep the dog calm and it will pass.
Pinched Nostril: In extreme cases surgery will be required to open the nostrils.
Dry Nose: Bulldog noses almost always go dry and flakey. Dab some petroleum jelly on the nose 2 or 3 times a day to restore a crusty nose and a couple of times a week to prevent it. The dog will try and lick the petroleum jelly off but enough will soak in to soften the nose again. In severe cases petroleum jellythe nose up to 6 times a day - you'll be surprised at how quickly the nose recovers.
Sneezing: Beware of sneezing as in my experience repetative sneezing is a grass seed! Immediate veterinary attention is required.
