Breathing is life & oxygen is not optional & we all share a duty to help pets & people recognize suffering. In short nosed breeds like Frenchies, English Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Pekingese, Pomeranians, & even mixed breeds although struggling to breathe may seem common, it’s never normal. We must notice the signs— noisy breathing, [...]
