My teddy bear makes sounds between a groan and whine as he's going to sleep. He is slowing down considerably and eating very few things. How do I know if it's a breathing issue or a pain issue?

My 3 year old chihuahua seemed just fine till about 3 days ago. She now whines when inside almost constantly, and has become obsessive about 2 squeaky toys. I thought maybe there was an odor on the toys so I washed them both, but she is still obsessive. She licks them a lot, has to have them near her all the time and whines almost constantly. Her last heat was about 3 or 4 months ago. When she goes outside she's fine. She plays, digs, runs around. No whining. She seems to be eating and drinking water just fine and pooping ok. But the obsessiveness over the 2 toys and near constant whining indoors isn't her usual behavior. Nothing happened to stress her out, so I'm worried and confused

Hi, I was wondering why my dog breathes heavily when she is sleeping and sounds like normal breathing but a lot heavier.She doesn't seem to have any problems breathing when she is awake. is this normal? if not what can I do?

our shepard/ Siberian husky groans more lately , especially when snuggling with her at night , its intermitent groaning , shes maybe 7 or 8 we rescued her and don't know much about her except shes very sweet ,have had her 4 years , she weighs 85 lbs and seems healthy , plays with her other dog friends and loves cold weather outdoors activities. HELP?

For the past few days, Vader has been groaning whenever he lays down, shifts while laying down, or sometimes when he wants my attention. He’s very smart and always finds ways to speak to me, usually through little barks/yelps, scratches on surfaces, excited movement toward whatever he wants, etc. But since he’s been taking his allergy meds (‘oral therapy’ that consists of me spraying 3 pumps of medicine from a tiny, refrigerated bottle between his gums and cheek), he’s been kinda antsy like he usually is: biting to the point of bleeding, scratching, sudden/nervous movement from wherever he is over and over (like quickly laying down for a few seconds, then getting up and moving on a repeated cycle that lasts a few minutes), etc. But groaning has never been a thing with him like these other symptoms always have been. My family thinks its cute, but I really cannot tell if its a serious issue or my own paranoia, considering he’s entering his senior years, he’s taking new medicine for allergies that purposefully trigger his allergies (and another note: he’s eating new food from a new brand with ingredients he’s not allergic to), and we have only hardwood floor in my home (backyard is all wood-chip and a concrete drive in, which he’s never minded but I have no idea what kind of effect it has on his bones) that I have heard is NOT the best for older dogs or dogs’ bones in general. Sorry this is a handful of info but if an expert replies I’ll feel much better... Hopefully it isn’t serious though, as my family is more poor and again, I’m as paranoid and jittery as my baby boy is!

My dog Zeke is a Jack Russel Chihuahua mix, 7 years old.. and recently his groaning has gotten a lil worse.. he doesn't appear to be in any sort of pain however when i scratch his belly or his ribs the groaning intensifies alot. Typically i would just write this off as him wanting attention but the past 2 days he hasnt bee himself, doesnt want to go outside, his energy level seems very low, he eats and drinks but it seems minimal. We introduced some new treats into his diet recently and i've been just writing it off as an upset belly, but today things seem to have taken a turn. When i pick him up the groaning is intense and if i hold him to me thats all i can hear. he has had no medical conditions that i know of.
