They panic because they can't breathe. The vet's suggestion (which always worked) was to pinch the nostrils shut. It sounds cruel, but it will force the hound to breathe through their mouth, which will flip the uvula back into place. It usually only took Waldo a few seconds.</div><div><br></div><div>-Esther, Basil, and Waldo ATB</div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><br></b></font><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td
