Do dogs get asthma and, if so, what are the symptoms, etc.? My dog, an Australian Shepherd, had been panting a lot and has congestion-type problems lately. The vet has performed upper respiratory and heart exams, including heart ultrasound and all looks well. I am currently going in for a trachial wash, in the next attempt to find out what is wrong with him. It just occurred to me to research asthma because of the panting/breathing problems he seems to be experiencing.
