The reasons why puppies keep panting can be roughly divided into two types: physiological reasons and pathological reasons. Physiological reasons: emotional stress, excitement, or after strenuous exercise, etc., but these generally last for a short time and usually recover on their own. Pathological causes: pneumonia, heart disease or reduced hemoglobin, etc. If it is caused by pathological conditions, you need to take your dog to the doctor in time.
1. Reasons for exercise
If the dog has just performed strenuous exercise, such as running fast, playing with its owner, etc., it will pant quickly. At this time, the owner does not need to worry too much. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as the dog eats and drinks normally and is in a normal state of mind, it will be fine.
2. Causes of Disease
If dogs are infected with diseases, such as pharyngitis, asthma, etc., they will also have symptoms of rapid panting. In this case, you need to take your dog to the pet hospital for examination to determine the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.
3. Causes of heat
Dogs’ sweat glands are underdeveloped and their heat dissipation effect is relatively poor. Generally, when the weather is hot, dogs will pant quickly to dissipate heat. At this time, the owner needs to prepare more drinking water for the dog, and can also turn on a fan or air conditioner to cool down the dog.
