Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. Tachypnea is not a specific disease, but a medical term. It is used to describe an elevated respiratory rate. This can be due to numerous conditions such as pneumonia, heart diease, fluid in the chest, etc. Typically x-rays of the chest are needed to diagnose the problem causing the elevated respiratory rate. Based on these results, treatment can be started. I hope this information helps!
