Why does my dog twitch, go limp, unresponsive, and breathe strangely in sleep?

Question

So while my dog is sleeping one minute he’s breathing really heavily and twitching in the next minute his body goes really Limp and he doesn’t reply to anything for about a minute and then his breathing also slowed tremendously

Dr. Dayna, DVM, CVA · Accepted Answer

When dogs are sleeping and dreaming their respirations can change dramatically. However, if he continues to breath quickly, if he is coughing or otherwise acting ill or as though he is working hard to breathe then he should be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
