Rapid breathing at night, sounds congested. Can’t jump up on things and has trouble walking up 3 steps

Hello, Sorry about that. It could be a respiratory infection or allergies. I extreme cases a heart problem. I would advise a visit to the vet for a thorough check up to know what is causing the above symptoms. Good luck

My dog is taking an antibiotic and is having a hard time breathing

Hello, depending on what antibiotics this is it could be causing him to act this way but there can be something more going on. I would recommend taking him to the ER vet if he is having trouble breathing.

I noticed 2 evenings ago my dogs muzzle was swollen a bit and her eyes extra watery. Within an hour she had hives everywhere!! I rinsed her off & gave her benadryl but she kept getting worse through the night shallow quick breathing (80 rpm) get bouts of hyper aggressiveness. I took the vet 1st thing in the morning she got a steriod shot & an antihistamine. But its not helping she seems like her breathing is getting worse & worse! Could it be something other than an allergic reaction?

As there were hives, this is most likely an IGE mediated allergy. It may be that it is ongoing or that she is having a biphasic reaction (whereby the body reacts a 2nd time). As she could develop a blood pressure drop and shock she needs to be in the vet as she likely needs more medicine and iv fluids.

He’s Ben it hi big for a while. He takes Apoquel. He just got a shot of some sort of allergy medicine similar to Apoquel and a steroid shot. He also takes kepprA. He is currently on an antibiotic as well to help with bacterial infection created from so much scratching. He started oral steroids on Friday. He is STILL itching so bad

Thank you for your question. It might be best to have him seen by a dermatologist, as he is taking so many medications for allergies and infections. It might be a good idea, as well, to have your veterinarian check for a parasite called Demodex, as that can be an unexpected cause of itching.

Lethargic unable to walk properly confused

Thank you for your question, I'm sorry your dog is not feeling well. From your description, it would be best to have your dog seen by a veterinarian right away. There may be a metabolic or neurologic problem causing what's going on, and they will be able to examine your dog and see what needs to be done for them. I hope that all goes well.
