Please have Lola seen by a vet immediately. Pugs as a breed can be predisposed to respiratory issues, and difficulty breathing in a pet dealing with bronchitis could be extremely dangerous. Please have her seen right away. If your regular vet isn’t open please go to a 24 hour clinic. Call them to let them know you are on your way if possible so they can prepare. Best of luck! Hope Lola feels better soon!
