I'm sorry Lucky is having issues! If Lucky is having a hard time breathing this is a medical emergency and he needs to be examined by a veterinarian immediately. Difficultly breathing can indicated fluid build up, lung disease, or heart disease so it's critical that Lucky be examined right away. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck to Lucky!
