Poor Mia! If her breathing is shallow then she should be examined and treated by a vet right away. She could have a pneumonia and your vet can take an x-ray to evaluated her lungs and then prescribe medications to treat. She might also be dehydrated and need some fluids. Please call your vet or take her to an emergency clinic as soon as possible, Hope she feels better soon!
