my three year old english bull dog

Question
i just rescued a great tempered 3 yr old but he is breathing so hard it sounds like he is choking is this normal? please help

Answer
He's probably very stressed out even though he may not show it. He also needs pallet resectioning surgery asap.

In the meantime, what you can do to help him out is raise his food and water dishes 6" off the floor.  Also, get a "squeezy lemon" from the grocery store with lemon juice in it. When he sounds really like he's fighting to breathe, put the lemon in the corner of his mouth, point it toward the back of his throat and give him a good squirt.  This will cause him to salivate and loosen up the gunt in his throat.

Didn't someone give you any information on this dog when you adopted him?
