Abnormal respiratory noises are a cause for concern, as there can be a variety of underlying causes, including a collapsing trachea, heart diseases, upper respiratory infections, or allergies. I would recommend Pepsy be evaluated by his regular veterinarian, have any necessary testing done (X-rays, bloodwork), and start any treatment that may be needed. Good luck!
