Heartworms are a thread-like parasitic worm that infest your dog's heart and lungs. They are spread by mosquito bites. If your dog's heartworm infestation becomes severe, he could exhibit heavy breathing symptoms. He might also cough, cough up blood phlegm, and retain fluid in his abdomen.
Dogs at rest have a normal respiration rate of 10 to 35 breaths per minute. Practice checking your dogâs respiration rate at home, when you and your dog are both relaxed, so youâll recognize quickly when something is wrong.
