Is my puppy's erratic breathing and snoring while asleep normal?

Question

Puppy has erratic breathing and is sounding like she is snoring while breathing worse when asleep. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 30 days old | 15 lbs

Dr. Paula Simons · Accepted Answer

Harsh respiratory sounds are typically caused by some type of airway inflammation. Some underlying illness may be causing her to have a sore throat/nose. It is best to have her assessed by a veterinarian to make sure there are no signs of infection. If she is having difficulty breathing, I'd recommend having her assessed as soon as possible.
