My 19-month-old, 90lb dog, Maya, is having labored breathing, appears anxious, and cannot lay down comfortably. She ate bouncy ball crystals from a 'create your own powerballs kit' around 2-3 pm. She has not vomited or had bowel movements since, and has not eaten or drunk anything since I got home. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do until I can get her to the vet?

She has been treated with antibiotics and steroids by the vet, but symptoms return within a week of finishing the prescriptions. What can I do to help her breathe better, and is there a more permanent solution like a stent for her nasal passages?
