After playing, bear was breathing and where I took a pic, I could see him breathing. Is that normal? EDIT: it’s hard to say whats happened

Of course a still image does not show us anything in terms of how hard he is breathing. i see mine breathe. it’s really if their sides are being pulled in when each breath and they are breathing very hard that you need to have it checked out. A one off after having been running around is probably not concerning but you should always see a vet if you are worried.

Could you give a description of how yours breath?
 
Just normal really! You can see their breaths without it being laboured - like it would be watching a person’s chest move when breathing.
if you watch a video of a piggy with laboured breathing due to being poorly it is very obvious that the piggy is struggling

Oh ok! I’ve just realised that his breathing is like you described as a persons chest
