My 5.5 year bull arab corss dog has rapud breathing since we started allergy medication. We got him checked by the vet who said they could not find a reason. Should i be concerned? Medication includes: Macrolone, ketoconazole and cephalexin.

It's a very unusual combination of medixation that is meant to shoot everywhere in hope that one of the medications works, i personally don't like this aproach and as Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Macrolone (steroids) can potentially hurt the liver, heart and kidneys i would not recommend to continue using both of them at the same time given the fact that Ollie has developed this symptom that ould potentially be a sign of pain or heart condition.
