My dog is still having trouble breathing after vet. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rat Terrier | Female | unspayed | 9 years and 9 months old | 13 lbs

I took my dog to the vet yesterday because she was having trouble breathing. She prescribed her amoxicillin and doxycycline for ten days. I know its only been one but im worried she's suffering bc she can't breathe right. It's 3:46 am and she cant sleep or eat well. Should i go back to vet tomorrow? Is there anything i can do right now to help my dog?

If the respiratory signs got worse despite the treatment given, I would recommend another check up today (am) to make sure the condition has been diagnosed correctly and no other treatment need to be added. It is very important to rule out any possibility of heart disease as well.
