Oh no. Poor girl. Breathing issues in any pet should be investigated to find out what the cause is first. We can't help unless we know what is causing this. I would highly recommend taking her to your nearest vet for a proper exam +/- radiographs, if indicated, to hopefully diagnose the underlying problem and get her treatment right away. If this happened all of a sudden, I suspect she may have asthma and in need of immediate treatment, so its best to get her seen quickly. I hope that your fur baby is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.
