My dog is 9 years old and has started breahing really hard and fast for about a month. I have taken him to 2 different vets they both say allergies. But the shots and medicine hasn't helped him. He has been eating a lot too lately and has gained weight. Just doen's feel good.

These are not symptoms of allergies. What you are describing could be Cushing's disease (an over active adrenal gland). Have a vet perform a low dose dexamethsone test and an abdominal ultrasound to check for it. IT IS NOT ALLERGIES :-)
