This can be serious if you are hearing a gurgling sounds as she breathes. This typically is a sign of pneumonia or it can be a really bad upper airway infection. She needs to see a vet right away for treatment, which hopefully will be a short course of antibiotics. Best case scenario is that she has an upper airway infection and it’s not lower down in her chest. I hope that your pet Roxy feels better soon. Take care.
