It sounds like Putta is very sick. Any pet exhibiting changes in the respiration needs to see the veterinarian quickly as this can indicate problems breathing which can be fatal. There are many potential causes and this could range from poisoning to parasites to heart disease. I recommend a play safe and have your pup examined quickly. Best of luck.
