Doe in rough shape?

I discovered this deer about a week ago on Friday, August 14th and she has 2 fawns. They stayed quite a while, and I admired them from the window. They had left for a while and just today, the mother has returned. She has been here since around 10am this morning, perhaps earlier than that but I only took notice at 10. She seems to be in rough shape, though I am unsure as I do not know much about deer. In any case it seems she is having difficulty breathing, and her fawns are nowhere in sight. The video shows her breathing. I’m curious to know if this is considered normal?
