hutch6 550 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Could be a number of things. My friend's spaniel started like that and the vets discovered a heart murmur. Take it in for a check up and if it is anything at least it can be nipped in the bud at an early stage rather than going unchecked and possibly getting worse or more frequent.

sandymere 8,263 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 How old is she? Is it a fit active working dog or pet? Is it over weight? Have you recently increased the exercise? How quick was the onset? It could be many things, a little background will help people make an informed answer as from what you have told us so far it could be heart failure, infection, exercised induced bronchospasm, allergy, poor fitness, obesity, foreign body etc etc A pic would help gauge condition.
