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.
