:) Hi!

does any one know what I should do?
Do you think its normal?
She usualy only gets it on car rides:cool:

It sounds stress related to me, but I would have her checked by the vet just to make sure.

What kind of dog is she? Is it just on car rides that she does this? How old is she?

Sounds like my Hannah who gets soooo excited when she gets to go for a car ride, she starts panting and even yawning. A little more practice going for short rides might help her calm down a bit and not get so excited. This being summer time, we rarely take Hannah unless we won't be leaving her in the car AT ALL. You can't be too careful about that.

thanx for yopur info:)
to Karen she is a terrier mix
she's about 3 and it always happens on car rides:(
I don't know if she needs a vet check i thi9nk she just needs to get used to car rides:D

If it ONLY happens on car rides, then it sounds like anxiety, or even motion sickness, which does affect some dogs.

We've talked about that, actually here (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9354) and even here (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3637)
