It primarily occurs when the dog is excited, but it can also happen after drinking, eating, running, or pulling on the leash.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_give_my_dog_to_help_him_breathe_better\"><\/span>What can I give my dog to help him breathe better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>A cold-moisture humidifier works best to add moisture to the air in your house. Consider adding a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus oil to the humidifier to make it easier for your dog to breathe indoors. Oxygen therapy: This is an excellent natural remedy for us in emergency situations.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_I_do_if_my_dog_is_having_trouble_breathing\"><\/span>What do I do if my dog is having trouble breathing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your dog or cat is displaying any signs of breathing difficulties it&#8217;s time to <b>head to the vet! Labored breathing should always be considered a veterinary emergency. In order to help your pet to breathe easier your vet will need to diagnose the underlying condition that is causing your pet&#8217;s breathing issues.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_randomly_gasp\"><\/span>Why does my dog randomly gasp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Allergens can affect your dog causing respiratory gasps and honks as the mouth and throat go into a spasm. More severe cases may be from viral infections that cause rhinitis. Nasal mites, which are a microscopic mite may irritate your dog&#8217;s nasal passage and also cause the spasms that lead to gasping for air.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_my_dog_to_stop_reverse_sneezing\"><\/span>How do I get my dog to stop reverse sneezing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What Should I Do If My Dog Reverse Sneezes? A common remedy is to <b>hold the dog&#8217;s nostrils closed for a second and lightly massage its throat to calm him. Lightly blowing in his face may also help. This should cause the dog to swallow a couple of times, which will usually stop the spasm of the reverse sneeze.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_abnormal_breathing_look_like_in_a_dog\"><\/span>What does abnormal breathing look like in a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another common sign of abnormal breathing is when your dog is <b>breathing heavily or panting but isn&#8217;t warm and hasn&#8217;t been exercising. Heavy breathing in dogs should be of particular concern if their mouth is drawn very wide (like a &#8216;grin&#8217;) and\/or you can see their nostrils moving.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_breathing_fast_when_resting\"><\/span>Why is my dog breathing fast when resting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>When a dog&#8217;s heart starts to fail his body is not circulating enough oxygen, and rapid breathing develops to counteract the lower levels of oxygen in circulation.
