My dog's stomach is making strange noises. I've just noticed it now. There are no changes in her stool, and she is 4 months old. What could be the possible reasons for her stomach noises, and should I be worried?

My relative's 14-year-old Bichon named Piggy has quick and heavy breathing, is unable to walk and eat, has wheezing but no sneezing or nasal drainage, and her gum color is a whitish pink. She has a rapid respiratory rate of about 116 breaths per minute and sometimes vomits or has diarrhea with not solid poop. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate actions should be taken?
