We have a 3 week old puppy, she has large lump on her head, where the mom stepped on her, and now is having issues breathing and is wheezing. The mom stepped on her about 3 days ago which is when the lump came, but the breathing and wheezing started last night


I'm truly sorry to hear about your puppy's condition. The symptoms you're describing, particularly the breathing difficulties and wheezing, are quite concerning. These could indicate a serious injury or internal issue, possibly related to the trauma from being stepped on. The lump on her head might be a sign of swelling or a hematoma, and the breathing issues could suggest potential damage to her respiratory system or even internal bleeding.
Given the severity of these symptoms and their development following the incident, it's crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention. Puppies are especially vulnerable, and prompt professional care is essential to assess the extent of the injury and provide the necessary treatment.
Please take your puppy to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to perform a thorough examination and possibly conduct imaging tests to determine the cause of the symptoms and provide appropriate care.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
