what is the cause of my puppy breathing funny? he will not open his mouth and is acting like he is out of it?

what could be wrong with him?






Hi Paula
I'm afraid I'm not a veterinarian and there's no way that I can give you any sort of accurate answer to this problem online, BUT I can say that I strongly urge you to get this puppy to a vet IMMEDIATELY.

What you describe is not normal and could be a result of poisoning, choking, a seizure, or an illness - there are too many possibilities to cover in detail and the only way to find out for sure is to get him a hands-on exam by a professional.

Young puppies are very vulnerable and if you don't get this little guy some help right away I'm afraid it may have serious, even fatal, consequences.

Please get him help right away. I wish you both the very best of luck and hope that he makes a full recover.
