Is it normal for my dog to pant heavily with Himalayan dog chews?

Cooked bones are never good to give to dogs because they easily splinter in the GI tract causing obstruction and perforation of the intestines. Titus may be in pain from chewing it if he swallowed pieces of it. Keep a close eye on him, and if this keeps happening, take him into a vet right away. Take away the bones from both dogs.

I think he may be panting ans shaking from the act of vomiting. If you remember, vomiting is not a good feeling, so when it happened, your dog may have gotten upset. He may be a bit sensitive to the ingredients of the dental twist. I am not a fan of rawhide, as it tends to swell up in the stomach, and can cause an obstruction at the exit of the stomach or in the small intestine, especially if the rawhide was swallowed whole instead of being chewed. So it is likely that he did not chew it very well, and it expanded in the stomach which then reacted by making your dog regurgitate it. The time frame of about half an hour fits s well as this is about how long it takes to moisten and swell the raw hide. I think he will be ok, and there is no need yet to take him to the vet. If he vomits more often or states getting diarrhea or appears lethargic after a while (in a few hours) you should take him to the vet. However at this time I would let him settle down and rest and calm down. Do not give him another twist, though.

Excessive panting is concerning for a lung, heart, or blood problem. Considering these all have potential to be serious diseases, it's best to have Hershey evaluated by a vet sometime soon. The vet will be able to tell if there is any need for concern and can give you good advice on how to help correct this problem. I hope that helps and all is well with Hershey.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Noushi. If she only breathes hard like this after hard play, this is not a cause of concern. An increased respiratory rate or panting (open mouth breathing) is worrisome if it occurs while she is resting with no recent history of exercise. I hope this information helps!

If he seems to be breathing heavier than normal then he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can take a chest x-ray to evaluate his heart and lungs. It is not normal for a dog to breath heavy for an hour after exercise so I think you should definitely have him evaluated by a vet.

These are vague signs that could indicate several things like anxiety or pain. If there is something they could be making him anxious (rain, thunder, fireworks, new people, etc), then he will calm down afterwards. Just give him some extra attention. If there is nothing you can think that is making him anxious he could be in discomfort. I would have your vet do an exam to make sure he doesn't need any pain medication. I would not give net human pain meds as most of these are toxic to dogs. I hope this helps!

Poor Happy! Good on you for checking her gums to make sure they look normal. Even though it's not hot outside, she could have worked herself up running around outside leading to her panting. Her drinking could be an effort to cool herself down. You can put a fan on her to see if that helps with the panting, and make sure she has plenty of access to fresh water at all times. Keep monitoring Happy, and if you do notice that her gums turn red or pale, she starts vomiting, becomes dizzy, shows weakness, has a bright red tongue, or the heavy panting continues over the next few hours despite trying to cool her down, I would have her seen by a vet right away. There is also a chance her panting could be due to a medical illness, such as cardiac disease, respiratory disease, or heartworms. Even if her panting stops, I would still have Happy seen by a vet tomorrow for a health check to be safe.
