Why is my cat breathing hard, has bad breath, and spitting pink liquid?

My cat has sewage like breath and he is having trouble breathing. He is flat chested and I gave him a bath today and he spat up some type of pink liquid. What's wrong?

Poor lllidan sounds very sick. He could have a severe dental problem leading to his bad breath, but I am extremely concerned that he is having trouble breathing. I would consider that a medical emergency, please take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
