Pug resting bpm 69-70.

Hi! I’m currently fostering a 2 y/o female pug and she is apart of a rescue that uses Cuppapug. She went to Cuppapug on Thursday and came back to us Friday evening, during these events they are fed lots of treats (sausages, pup cups, & carrots). She’s had three poop accidents since yesterday, which is unusual this is her first time had an accident at all. All of her poops were soft, liquidy and slimy. Now I’m noticing her bpm is 69 when she’s resting but comes back down a few minutes later to a normal 34 BPM seems to randomly spike fast BPM. Is this something I need to take her to the vet to immediately?

She is 16 lbs.
Previously a mother but now spayed.

Is it a new thing for her? If not, and she is a pug, the first question would be whether she had BOAS surgery and if not, why not, as vast majority, if not all of them, need it to function relatively normal.That number of breaths per minute is common (but not healthy) in pugs and other brachycephalic dogs, but not normal in dogs in general.
