German Sherpherd breathing heavy...

Question
I have female German shepherd that is just over a year old and she is lethargic and breathing heavy through her nose with a little clear watery discharge from her nose. The only thing I can think of that she got a hold of was my albuterol inhaler that she clearly punctured with her canine teeth.  I am now concerned because she is not really herself and is laying around breathing heavy is this something that will go away or something I need to have looked into?

Answer
Hi Melissa, Please get your girl to the VET emergency ASAP.  She is having an adverse effect of the Albuterol.  The drug will increase her heart rate.  She needs help ASAP.. They can give her a drug to reverse this reaction she is having..

Good Luck!
