Hello, I looked over the question you sent.
This is a case that requires an appointment with a veterinarian.
Based on the information you provided in your question, it is assumed that your dog suffered a chest trauma. You should be concerned about serious conditions such as traumatic pulmonary hemorrhage or lung contusion, especially if he is breathing heavily. He could also have rib or sternum fractures. So if his condition does not improve, please take him to an animal hospital right away. And you should treat this as an emergency, especially if his breathing rate exceeds 40 times per minute.
Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions you may have. Thank you.

(The consultation type you select only determines whether or not your pet requires medical attention. If you require a detailed consultation, please ask questions without urgent mode.)
