Our 9-year-old Lab named Zeus started swallowing really hard today, has upper body twitching when laying down, and is walking slowly and staying close by instead of roaming the yard as normal. He drank a little water and ate a couple of soft treats, but his breathing is heavier than usual and he is wheezing while sleeping. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?
