My dog has been labored breathing since 3 am. The dog is a 13-year-old Schnauzer/Poodle mix named Lily. She has not been coughing and is not open-mouth breathing, but has been breathing heavily and occasionally gagging after jumping on or off the couch. The last vet visit was in April for her shots. What could be causing this labored breathing and what should I do?

The swelling hasn't improved despite continuing the medication as advised by the vet. What should I do?
