Brief Answer:
Lung issues/trauma/food allergy to consider....

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I am sorry for the breath problem your XXXXXXX XXXXXXX is going through.

If it is shortness of breath, then, should send to vet and get physically examined to rule out lung problems.

Do you remember if had a recent trauma? cold? new food (food allergy)?
These are to consider especially if breath problems started just recently.

All the best.

I think her breath is normal but she has a panic attack ? When she see someone coming close to her , it makes her nervous . I never see her feeling for 12 years.
Why does she feel that way ?

Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,

Please answer the questions below regarding your XXXXXXX XXXXXXX breath problems:

Do you remember if had a recent trauma? cold? new food (food allergy)?

If she has panic attack when people are near to her, then send her to get further checked by the vet for:
- possible aging anxiety disorder
- or any nervous illness she might be suffering.

Try not to get her near to strangers until completely checked by the vet.
All the best.
