Hi and thanks for posting. This is very concerning to me especially since Bella is having trouble breathing. There could be a wide variety of reasons for all of these symptoms. Please take Bella to a vet ASAP to get evaluated immediately. She will need an exam and likely blood work and/or x-ray or other advanced imaging to help determine what is going on.

Oh no, that's not good that Bella has had a sudden change in behavior. This can signify a medical problem, and the heaving breathing can be due to pain. She could have injured herself leading to her lethargy. I would monitor her tonight and if she is still acting this way in the morning, I would have her seen by a vet for a health check.
