Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bear. Oh no, poor girl. I'm quite worried about the breathing and unequal pupil size. The unequal pupil size is known as anisocoria, and it's a medical emergency when it happens suddenly. She really does need to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I hope this helps!
