if you have not gotten hurt in the rib area, there is no reason for a hurting breathing, and medical advise should be seeked.
You could have a bruised or broken rib. However, a broken rib usually causes your breathing to be painful. If this is not the case the bruise is more likely. If the symptoms don't subside I recommend seeing your doctor.
Normally a broken rib does not impede breathing, but it is possible for the rib to puncture a lung, in which case it does cause a serious problem.
It could be many things; from a heart attack to a sprained shoulder. You should go and see a doctor about this.
I kick the sh*t out of my dog occasionally. Usually in the rib area.
