Breathing difficulties is always an emergency so you need to take Kittoo to your local vets as soon as possible. Pneumonia is one of the possibility, distemper can also affect the lungs but it usually affects young dogs. Breathing problems can also be caused by heart diseases, upper airways diseases (collapsed trachea, bronchitis etc), anaemia, even painful problems within the abdomen. It is not possible to say what is going on without examining Kittoo, so you really need to take him to your nearest vets to find out what is going on.
