I know this belongs in dog health but I also know a lot of people don't go over there and I need some advice. Duke is panting pretty heavily all the time now. He wakes me up at night panting loudly. I'm so worried because this is how his last pancreatitus attack happened. That was a year and a half ago and ever since then, he has eaten nothing but special food and treats which are given very sparingly. We're taking a road trip in a week and will be gone for 12 days. I'm scared to death that something is going to happen while on that trip. He just had a vet checkup about a month ago but the panting has gotten worse since then, also. I've gotten all his records printed out to take with me, just in case. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? I'm seriously considering taking him back to the vet, even though I need all the money I can because I'm renting a car. I just don't know what to do and get sad when I think about him maybe being sick. He acts normal otherwise, though. Sorry for the rambling.
