Why does my pug sound she's got asthma? I know they

have an elongated soft palate but…? I know they have an elongated soft palate but at least once a week it sounds like she could be choking. Is there some way I can help her when she's gasping for air? My vet said she doesn't need surgery.

i've had a lot of experiences with pugs and sometimes when they get tired, they start to make this funny wheezing sound. i walked my friends dog once and after a couple minutes into the walk she started making this weird sound. but now she always does it when she walks, so maybe what your dog is going through is normal, but it could be serious. just make sure you've told the vet everything that is happening and if they say your dog is ok, shes probably ok. so im not saying its not serious, but it could be a normal thing, so don't worry to much, but don't take it off your mind either

It's the evil seeping out... Sorry... my vet never gave it a name - just gave me the "chill, mom" look. Said it didn't need surgery.
