11 year old Dog excessively panting
What about it?
Just wondering if anyone has insight into why my 11 year old girl has been panting more than usual. She paces around the house panting not constantly but more than I would think is normal. I took her for a full senior blood panel and the only thing they noticed was something slightly high in her urine but could have been due to urine concentration. She has been on thyro tabs for hypothyroidism for years and has arthritis. It has been hot but we have AC. The vet said it could be because she is old and having cognitive decline? It worries me but other than that she seems normal. Is there additional testing I should ask for? Oh she is overweight which is partially due to her thyroid.
