Hi there, There are a number of things that could be going on - but laboured breathing really worries me! Any time an animals has difficulty breathing, he should be seen by a veterinarian immediately! The wobbliness could well be because he is not getting enough oxygen to his tissues. A common reason for laboured breathing is congestive heart failure. In an older dog, this could be caused by a few different things, but mitral valve disease would be the most common. Basically, when the heart beats, not all of the blood inside it is pushed forward as the mitral valve often becomes leaky in older small breed dogs.
How to Tell for Sure Dog is in Labor. One of the most asked questions that I have answered is how to tell if a dog is in labor. This is usually asked by people that are first time female dog owners and they thought their dog had been kept away from others just enough to not get pregnant. Take your dog's rectal temperature. When your dog's temperature drops to 99 degrees and below, your dog will go into labor within 24 to 48 hours. Step 2 Notice if your dog is refusing to eat or is restless. These are generally good indicators that your dog is in labor or going into labor.
