Any tummy pain, like pyometra ?
Are there any Doberman inherited diseases ?
Is she eating/drinking/ weeing/pooing ?

My friends dog used to stop breathing and had weird , stiff limbs . She had a defibrillator fitted and is fine now. I hope you can get her sorted x

What did your vet think?

What did your vet think?

That the runny nose was allergies but the other stuff has only started in the past two days

If she’s insured you’ll probably get televet appointments included who might be able to help you if you can’t get to vet over the weekend

Dobermans are prone to heart problems - has she had her heart checked out?

No, do any of these symptoms indicate heart problems?

Your best bet is to take her back to the vets and explain the symptoms.

Yes - the breathing difficulties in particular, as well as the lack of energy.

Please get her to the vet.
