: : I have been researching this a bit and it appears that dogs CAN get asthma or asthma-like symptoms. I haven't found much more than that and I don't think it's widely diagnosed but I'd check w/your vet on the possibility of asthma. I recently adopted a terrier mix (8 years old) who has been dx w/chronic kennel cough which I am thinking may be asthma. We see the vet tomorrow.
: I have a boxer mix and I really think she has asthma as well. She wheezes and really sounds like she is having trouble breathing. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
i also have a pure breed boxer puppy who is about 4 months old. and for the past three weeks he has symptons of human asthma which at sometimes scares me. he is going to the vet next week to get checked out. he has a hard time running and playing which is hard for a boxer not to do.
