10 wk old puppy pants heavily even when it's not hot and he's not exhausted
My 10 week old puppy is perfectly healthy, so the Vet says. She
honestly didn't do a very thorough initial examination. Anyway, he really is healthy and doesn't seem like he's in any pain, but he pants constantly. Most of the time he doesnt breath through his nose, but rather through his mouth. He is a schnauzer/poodle mix, so i dont think its inherent that he would have any breathing problems like a snub nosed dog. he's relatively active, but the panting is more of an annoyance. when we sleep, he will wake up and start panting. He also breathes really fast, even when he's awake. I asked about this to my vet, and she just stating that he was probably dreaming. However, he breathes quickly even when he's awake and he seems to get winded easily. could it be a congentital problem? heart worms? should i be really concerned? i'm not sure if i'm over reacting, because he really is very healthy and puppy-like. |
