He looks like he is trying to vomit out something but can get it out. He doesnt look having diffucult breathing.

If Autumn is attempting to vomit without producing anything I’d recommend seeing an emergency veterinarian right away. This can be a sign of gastric dilation and volvulus (GDV) also known as bloat which is a life threatening emergency. While it would be unusual for a dog as young as Autumn to develop GDV her breed is predisposed, and it would be safest to see a vet. They can take an x-ray which would diagnose the disease or look for an obstruction - if she doesn’t have this problem they can prescribe medication that could help with nausea.
