Is your little dog a Yorkie by chance? Ours has had this awful sounding problem for most of his 13 years, the Vet says it is spasms in his throat/voice box/wind pipe, and very common in this breed. While it sounds absolutley horrible there is no danger, he will/would pass out and the spasm relax, and he would breath fine. Ours is VERY neurotic, and I swear does it intentionally some times for attention!! ha , really though, he does do it much more when excited or anxious. Doc said there is a surgery to correct this, but he's too old and likely couldn't survive, but we decided when he was young and started this (I think he was a couple/few years old when it started), no need to put him thru surgery if it didn't/wouldn't cause him any long term harm.
Of course, kennel cough is another thing. And sounds totally different than what our dog has which sounds like ''haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa'... Hope this helps.....
