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.
Thanks for answering my questions. The 'normal' respiratory rate for a dog is 10-34 breaths per minute...HOWEVER, large breed dogs can be slower and smaller breed dogs can be faster. Add to it the fact that some medications, pain or even just mild discomfort can cause that rate to raise.he 'normal' respiratory rate for a dog is 10-34 breaths per minute...HOWEVER, large breed dogs can be slower and smaller breed dogs can be faster.
