What s wrong with dogs panting? The owner comes and take a look!

What's wrong with dogs panting? A dog wheezing may be because it may have respiratory problems such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or asthma, or because it may be overexercising or excessive calories. It is recommended that you take your dog to the veterinarian, determine the cause and take necessary treatment measures.

1. Physiological causes

1. Frightened

If the dog is frightened, it may suddenly fall to the ground and breathe heavily. For example, sudden firecrackers or other loud noises may make the dog feel anxious, which will trigger a state of tension and fear, resulting in a big breath. At this time, the owner should pay attention to the dog's situation in time and comfort it appropriately. If you feel that your dog has difficulty breathing or lasts too long, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

2. Severe exercise

Because the dog's heat dissipation function is poor, when the surrounding environment is high or the dog has just finished vigorous exercise, the dog will help dissipate heat through quick breathing. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The owner only needs to transfer the dog to a cool and ventilated place to rest in time, and provide the dog with cool drinking water to help it dissipate heat.

2. Pathological causes

1. Suffering respiratory diseases

If the dog is gasping and accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and sneezing, it is likely that it is suffering from respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, lung tumors, etc. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time, and then conduct targeted treatment after determining the specific reason.

2. Suffering from heart disease

If the dog pants rapidly without strenuous exercise, accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, coughing and loss of appetite, it is likely caused by heart disease. Because the mortality rate of heart disease is relatively high, it is necessary to go to the pet hospital for treatment in time, and try to avoid irritating the dog, avoid taking the dog to play for a long distance or climbing stairs, etc., to avoid increasing the heart burden on the dog.
