Dog suddenly becomes short of breath

If there is a foreign body stuck in the dog's throat, it will block the trachea, causing shortness of breath and severe coughing. It is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for treatment immediately. Owners can also try to perform the Heimlich maneuver on their dogs at home to cough up foreign objects.

After strenuous exercise, dogs may also experience shortness of breath and gasp for air. In this case, the dog is panting to help dissipate heat. It is recommended to take the dog to a quiet and cool environment and wait for it to rest for a while.

Dogs suffer from allergic asthma, which is triggered by certain substances in the environment, resulting in shortness of breath. It is recommended that owners eliminate allergens and receive timely treatment.
