I've got an asthmatic cat and have a friend with an asthmatic dog. It's easily treatable, usually, and isn't a huge problem, most of the time. I know, in my cat and my friends' dog, it's caused by an allergy to something. In my cat's case, it was the dust from her litter and flea bites. My friends' dog is allergic to grass.
Hope your sister's dog is feeling better soon.

I have heard isolated accounts of it. It seems to be a fairly recent thing and attributed to air pollution for the most part. Even our beloved pets are being affected by our selfishness!
