Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to flatulence or sometimes you can see that when breathing with an abdominal component for instance which you can see in cases of respiratory distress. Hopefully it is not anything serious when they evaluate Simba on Thursday. Good luck and have a great day!
