Why is my cow breathing loudly and heavily but acting normal?

Question

My cow started to randomly breath really loudly and heavily today and seems like she's struggling, but she's acting completely normal. I checked again tonight and she still is that way. What could it be and how can I help her? Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed

Heavy breathing can be a sign of several things including problems with the heart and lungs. Kidney and liver issues can also sometimes lead to heavy breathing in cows. If she's kept indoors in a barn, irritation from bedding or cramped quarters can also cause respiratory disease. Since this has been ongoing for a while, and doesn't seem to be improving, i'd call out a local vet to have her examined.
