my dog has been shaking and panting for 5 days now. the first night she did it, i let it slide. but after the 2nd night, i took her to a vet and they said there was nothing wrong.
but she still keeps panting and shaking, she seems to be clinging to me.. wanting to sleep on top of my head and next to me (which she never does). she also wants to climb on the arm of the sofa and sit on the coffee table. and she cries a lot.
something is obviously wrong. it seems to only start at night tho. what do i do? im so worried.
Answers:
I had a dog that had similar symptoms. He ended up having cancer. Take him back to the vet and have them check her oxygen levels.
maybe she is scared of something. Does she do that only in certain rooms? Take her to another room for a while and see if she still does that or relaxes
IT really sounds bad , i would try another vet.
I had a dog that did this once. The vet told us that it was a seizure. The best you can do for her is to just make her relaxed as possible. When she lays with you and starts, just slowly pet her. This helped me dog, who lived to be 14. It shouldn't be to threatening if she is young, and if the vet figures it out, he/she can give her some meds.
hey your gonna think im nuts but maybe she saw a ghost..hey before you knock it they say dogs can see these things when people cant lol
sounds like extreme overheatedness or dehydration. get her into a cold bath and have water availble immdeiately!
I would take her to the vet again. Make sure again there is nothing wrong. If there's nothing wrong, let him do the things she mentioned and see if she stops. If she doesn't, play with her or take her to the park to get her relaxed. If she shakes and pants that following night, try to comfort her and make her more relaxed and to calm down. Maybe, she's just sad. Make her more happy somehow. Hope this helps. :-)
And gave her some water. My dog did the same thing when she was thirsty. Except the crying part.
she is obviously scared of something, not to scare you or anything, but she might see something you dont. are you expecting thunderstorms or bad weather? maybe she had a bad experience you dont know about where ever she is shaking, for example if shes shaking in the kitchen, maybe a pot or pan fell and scrared her.
Poor baby! And poor you for all the worry and lost sleep.
Is she drinking and eating and pooping and all that? Is she sleeping at all? Any signs of something wrong like diarrhea or vomiting or fever? Lost weight? Any of these would be cause to get to a vet.
My dog, who was adopted, has shaking and panting drama for a couple of hours some evenings, usually when someone sets off fireworks or there is too much noise.
This dog psychology book said not to pet and pay attention to the behavior (assuming the dog is well). To let the dog get close but to be really calm.
I ended up giving him some benadryl, a small dose, and he got sleepy. I AM NOT RECOMMENDING GIVING ANIMALS HUMAN MEDICINE! but I did read it online so you might want to look it up online.
Good luck to you both!
