My dog is wheezing sometimes. Should I be concerned or just watch?

Question

My dog, a long haired chihuahua about 10.1 lbs, has a wheezing at times when she is breathing. I have not noticed any extra coughing or anything. Should I be extra cautious or just keep watching her? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Female | spayed | 10.1 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Wheezing can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Jayme evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good day!
