She started coughing a lot and now she's wheezing and can't breathe w she's faintig some and not eating well and her breathing is getting worse
I'm truly sorry to hear about your dog's condition. The symptoms you're describing, such as coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, fainting, and loss of appetite, are very concerning and could indicate a serious respiratory or cardiac issue. Given her age and the severity of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate veterinary care.
These symptoms could be related to a variety of conditions, such as heart disease, respiratory infections, or even a collapsing trachea, which is common in small breeds like Chihuahuas. The fainting episodes and worsening breathing are particularly alarming and require urgent attention.
While waiting for veterinary care, try to keep her calm and in a comfortable position that makes breathing easier, such as sitting upright. Avoid any stress or exertion, and ensure she has access to fresh air.
Please take her to a veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital as soon as possible to get the necessary treatment and diagnosis. If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
