Thanks for reaching out about Coco. If he has been doing this for 3 years (since a baby), it is probably normal for him. But would not consider it normal. Open mouth breathing is often an indication of a respiratory problem, whether infection, organ enlargement (liver, spleen), or other concern. If persists or worsens, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
