Thanks for reaching out about Peaches. Early clinical signs of respiratory disease depends on whether upper or lower respiratory disease. Upper respiratory disease usually noted by sneezing, nasal discharge or coughing. Lower respiratory disease commonly manifests in breathing difficulties. If you are concerned, a veterinary visit is highly recommended. Good luck.
