There is only 1 responsible thing to do right now,... take her to your vet. How long has this been going on? What is her age? Does she have a heart condition? What does she eat? Where does she live? Has she been exposed to a bordetella virus? Has she ever been dewormed? Does she swim in rivers, lakes or ponds? Probably the most important question for your sake is, How far are you able/can you afford to investigate this? Your vet may want to do bloodwork, radiographs, a fecal, or an Echocardiogram or ECG, place her in hospital on IV fluids. In an ideal world, there would be federally funded pet health, but since there is not, you will have to decide how much you can spend. It is a sad question, but if you cannot afford to find out or fix her, then perhaps you may need to consider putting her down. I would strongly suggest having a vet take a look at her first, don't let her life go for fear of what it will cost, find out first! Good luck, and I hope she gets better.Just so you get an idea,... here are some things it 'could' be (there is no way for me to know what it is, only a vet who has actually seen her can tell you that)-cardiac complications-heartworm-bordetella-lungworm-IMHA-collapsed Lung-cancer-severe pancreatitisplease let a veterinarian help you to help her.
