I have been reading posts - and wondered if anyone can tell me if the breathing rates and heart beat rates change significantly or only slightly when a dog is sleeping / resting. I have a 2 1/2 year old yorki-poo that has thrown up a couple of times today but seemed to be feeling just fine (energetic, playful) ... but now he seems lethargic to me tonight. Of course it is night time - but he just seems not to be feeling well. He weighs 7.5 pounds - so not tiny but not really big either.

Is there a recommended range for these rates?? Thanks so much!
