My dog is breathing fast, coughing, and vomiting. Should I see a vet?

Question

Luna has been breathing fast and coughing or burping a lot. She threw up this morning but we think she ate her food to fast-but the fast breathing has been making us anxious. We switched her food and didn’t mix her old food with it because we ran out, so she just started new food. That could also be it but I just don’t know.

I highly recommend bringing Luna to a veterinarian to have her heart and lungs listened too. Did the breathing start after she vomited? If so, then she may have aspirated some food. Did it start before? It can be something related to her heart or even her lungs. Without a good physical examination and someone listening to her it is hard to say what it is. I would take her as soon as possible if you feel she is breathing a lot faster and heavier. I get concerned about breathing issues especially in an English Bulldog and is an emergency especially if she is turning blue. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
