It sounds like your dog is experiencing several concerning symptoms, including separation anxiety, stinky breath, lethargy, and difficulty in breathing. Let's address these one by one.
For separation anxiety, it's quite common in dogs, and there are ways to manage it effectively. You might want to try gradually increasing the time your dog spends alone, ensuring they have plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Calming aids, such as pheromone diffusers, can also be helpful. If the anxiety seems severe, consulting a professional dog trainer could be beneficial.
Regarding the stinky breath, this often points to dental issues. Regular brushing with pet-safe toothpaste can make a difference, but if there's significant plaque or tartar, a professional dental cleaning might be necessary. It's also worth noting that bad breath can sometimes indicate other health problems, like kidney or liver issues, so keep an eye out for any additional symptoms.
As for the lethargy and difficulty breathing, these are more serious concerns. They could indicate a range of health issues, from respiratory infections to heart problems. Difficulty breathing, in particular, is critical and requires immediate attention. It's important to keep your dog calm and comfortable, but I strongly recommend seeking veterinary care as soon as possible to ensure your dog's safety and well-being.
Given the combination of these symptoms, especially the breathing difficulties, it's crucial to have your dog evaluated by a veterinarian promptly. They can provide a thorough examination and appropriate treatment to address these issues.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
