If its when the mouse is going down its that the mouse compresses the lung on its way down so the other parts have to work harder.

If its after the strike I think its just excitement combined with a requirement for more oxygen, Spot (and Sanke) really breathes quickly & heavily from the strike to the swallowing bit, once he starts swallowing he takes slower but deeper breaths.

I've always taken it as normal, once he has finished eating the breathing always returns to normal almost immediately

is it not from taking in the bulk of the mouse?
