She is sleeping more than usual also, and when she sleeps I can hear her breathing like when someone has a bad cold and can't breath. Occassionally she makes a scary gasping/snorting sound, like she can't breath. She is only 3 yrs old. She has never done this before. I am not that knowledgeable about vet medicine. Can dogs get colds/allergies? Is that what this is? What can I do? Any advice is definitely welcome!! Thank you!!

Dogs can get colds and have allergies. Could be a upper respiratory infection. Also, issues with the heart can cause labored breathing. Get him to the Vet just in case it's something serious.

I once suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. I would suffer sometimes 3 to 4 times per year! Usually when there was a major change in the pressure outside (I live in the north, and the temperature spikes and dips do wonders to chronic sufferers of bronchitis!). Each time I would get horrible hacking coughs, hoarking up green phlegm..it was so frustrating!

Could be trachael collapse..that's a worst case senario.Or has she gained weight?Could be that.Get her checked out soon for your peace of mind.The gasping snorting sound sounds like a "reverse sneeze"...nothing bad....yes,dogs can get allergies,but difficult to diagnose.
