Re: Labored Breathing/Wheezing in Dog

: My 12 yr old Westie has what our vet has diagonised as "Allergy Lung Diease". This started after we went through Hurricane Charley in SW Florida in Aug. '04. The vet said she saw a lot of breathing problems in her practice due to all the "stuff" in the air after the hurricane. My dog seems to be holding about the same but not improving. She has very labored breathing and wheezing and low energy. All the vet has us doing is predazone, which I hate to keep her on....but without she does get worse. She has been on a strict allgery diet due to my other westie that has skin and food algeries. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I have lab siblings thathave developed the same problem. One was breathing so bad he lost bowel control. Took him to the vet a couple of days ago and he has been diagnosed with Laryngeal Paralysis. I am taking the other one tomorrow as he whistles through his lungs. I am afraid he may have the same problem as the other one. It sounds to me like maybe your vet should do a scope on your dog. Severely labored breathing from excercise, stress and excitement may signal this laryngeal problem
