My 3-week-old puppy breathes heavily but still eats. Should I worry?

Question

Hi! My dog gave birth 3 weeks ago. I noticed that one puppy breathes more heavily than the other two. Not sure if I should be worried because she has not lost her appetite. What should I do?

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
