Rapid, shallow breathing in dog while sleeping

[Jess2891]

My dog is about five years old. He is a chiauhaua and I have had him and his brother since they were old enough to wing from mother well one of them died but before he did he was breathing heavy and then two days later he died now my other dog is doing same thing I can't tell if he is moping around or if something is seriously wrong he also has the jerks he is not walking around he is just laying around any advice on what could be going on?
