You should definitely call your veterinarian and let them know right away. While there can be various causes for wheezing, one big one can be fluid over load - meaning fluid is building up in Bakri’s lungs. the doctor will need to listen to her lungs and may need an X-Ray. Best of luck and I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
