My pitbull is breathing fast, not eating, and drinking a lot. Is it an emergency?

Question

My 10 year old pitbull has been breathing funny for a few days .. I'm counting 65 breaths per minute. She also hasn't eaten today . Shes drinking alot and wanting to go outside to potty alot. Gums are pink and moist. I might add she has a tumor on her mamory gland and heartworms? Anything helps because her vet visit isnt until monday.

65 breaths per minutes is an emergency, you cannot wait until Monday as she may very well not make it that far, you need to take her to the vet today. it could be related both to heartworm and the mammary gland tumors.
