Hi and thanks for posting! If Hunter is having some breathing trouble, I would recommend he see a veterinarian ASAP for exam. Your veterinarian will listen to his lungs and heart and may take an x-ray to help determine the cause so he can get the most appropriate treatment. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
