I would recommend taking Luca to the vet today. Since Luca is having trouble breathing it is best he be examined today. Usually a basic cold does not affect the respiratory rate in our pets. It is possible he could have an bacterial or fungal infection, virus or even something painful that is causing him to breathing harder. Your vet might want to take an x-ray of his chest to make sure his lungs look healthy and determine if Luca needs medications or not
