Chronic ehrlichiosis can cause severe anemia as well as neurologic issues and shortness of breath which may affect breathing or cause your dog to breathe harder to make up for the lower blood count. If Honey is having trouble breathing in addition to another underlying illness, it is best to seek veterinary care for treatment to get her feeling better.
