Guest Gideon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Tankala has been panting and pacing for hours. Before I came downstairs, he was whinning a bit. He lays down for a few minutes here and there, tries to arrange his bedding, gets up and starts pacing again. All the while panting. It's not hot in here. Seems to be discomfort. I've run hands down legs, checked paws, neck, tummy - he's not showing any other signs of discomfort. Any ideas? I know it's cryptic but it is escalating.

Guest KyGrey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Is it possibly going to rain/storm soon? There are many things that it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luckydog Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 How do his gums look? Color of his last pee? Poop consistency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ^^ ditto. Esp the gums. Any tenderness when you press gently on his belly? When was his last poop? Prajna will pace and pant if he gets a little constipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAXNAV Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Could he have pulled a muscle? Check all around the shoulders. Feel down towards the chest and under towards the armpit. I had the same issues with my collie over and over, and he would pull a muscle under the shoulder towards the armpit, after bouncing around and coming down hard on his front legs. I found the spot that hurt, as he turned his head quickly as if to bite me. How's he doing this morning??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gideon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 His poop is fine, pee fine, I checked his stomach, muscles, joints, neck - all of that down to his paws. He didn't let on to anything. He's not affraid of thunder/lightening/rain storms. He seems to be resting comfortably this morning. Not sure I'm going to the hike planned for today.

Guest Energy11 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Glad he is resting. May have just been an upset stomach/gas. That is very uncomfortable. I wouldn't do the hike today. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytloves Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I bet he was thinking "Oy, I should not have had that last serving" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
