I'd say it depends on exactly what werewolves are in your setting. Are they closer to living creatures that have been altered by magic, or are they closer to demons shaped like wolves? In either case, I'd rule that it's trapped but its nature determines whether it dies or not.
(I think an Eberron werewolf would die. In that setting, werewolves were deliberately created by a demon who wants to terrorize humans, and part of his intent is presumably to have the werewolf be a person forced to become a monster. So I would say it still needs to breathe.)
Don't most demons also need to breathe?
If I were writing the story I would say that they don't. Accidentally releasing a trapped or bound demon is a common theme and I don't want to argue about what it breathed and ate for a thousand years before it was set free. (And where did it poop?) But I don't know what the rules actually say. Constructs explicitly don't need to breathe so does everything that doesn't have that statement in its description need to breathe? I suppose so, in which case you're correct.
