Question
hello i have a 9 week old german sheperd/rottweiler mix puppy and he has been breathing hard when he is sleeping, his body is warm and so is his nose, should i be worried??

Answer
Hi,

Sounds normal to me, especially if it is hot where you live.  If he is eating and drinking and alert when he is not sleeping I would think that there is no problem.  If you are concerned, you should speak to your vet.   Also, make sure his shots are up to date!!
