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.
When a dogâs respiratory rate is persistently high and canât be attributed to any of the above environmental factors, it can signal a health problem such as anemia, congestive heart failure or various respiratory disorders. Shallow or slow breathing is also a concern. A dog whose respiratory rate has decreased markedly may be in shock. He could be in danger of not breathing altogether. This can be a result of a number of factors, including trauma (such as being hit by a car), poisoning or certain neuromuscular diseases.
