Question

My jack russell hyperventilates. Is it something i should be really concerned about it? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 11 months old | 10 lbs

Yes, I would be concerned about this because it's not normal for a dog to hyperventilate. This can be due to cardiac disease, respiratory infection, or metabolic problem. It would be best for Jacob to see a vet for this, and I would recommend having a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and chest x-rays done. If an underlying medical problem is found, the vet can discuss treatment options with you.
