Oh dear! Breathing issues and pale gums are always very concerning, so I would recommend taking Lollos to a vet right away. She may have a heart problem, a clotting disorder causing internal bleeding, or she may have been injured somehow even if there are no outward signs. Your vet can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help determine what's wrong and get her started on appropriate treatment.
