breathing.

[petslover]

My wired foxed terrier has been breathing so hard. its like hes panting all the time even when he has been laying down for awhile. any ideas what it could be?

also, anytime he sits one of his legs just shake. Could it be weak or something?

hmm,,, well I am no vet, but perhaps a call to your Vet might be in order.....

Panting can be caused by sweating, or stress or pain, an abnormally high heartrate.... but dont panic,,,,, just call the vet,, they can help for sure!!!

Oh...well, there's a host of different things that could cause the panting/labored breathing, from heat, to stress or excitement, to experiencing pain and more. In the summer, my Cody will often be resting on her bed, and pant for a while. But I'd definitely give the vet a call to have him checked out, for the breathing and the leg shaking. Don't you wish they could talk to us and tell us what they're feeling!:) Please let us know who he's doing!
