Hello. To some degree, respiratory problems are definitely associated with this breed. Your best option is to seek another opinion from another veterinarian, preferably one in a specialty referral hospital, or if you are close to your state veterinary college see a specialist in internal medicine there. Some of the breathing problems can be addressed with strict weight control, consistent, but careful exercise, & possibly surgery. Jazzman is a beauty. I hope she always does well.
