If you suspect that your pug has fractured his leg and is experiencing labored breathing, it's essential to seek immediate veterinary attention. A fracture can be quite painful and may require specific treatments, such as splinting or surgery. Additionally, difficulty breathing could indicate a serious issue, possibly related to pain, stress, or another underlying condition.

While you prepare to visit the vet, try to keep your dog as calm and still as possible to prevent further injury. Avoid handling the injured leg unnecessarily, and if you need to transport him, consider using a blanket or makeshift stretcher. Ensure he is in a comfortable position that doesn't put pressure on the injured leg or restrict his breathing.

These symptoms are concerning and require professional evaluation to ensure your dog's safety and well-being. Please make arrangements to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
