Why is my Papillon shivering, gasping for air, and heart racing?

If Bells appears to be in any sort of respiratory distress, I must recommend that you get her to an ER right away to be stabilized. If she is simply panting due to some sort of stress or discomfort, this is not necessarily required. Regardless, it sounds like she is definitely experiencing some pretty severe discomfort. I'm not sure what they did for her at the clinic earlier, but it doesn't seem to have addressed whatever it is that is currently bothering her. If these sort of symptoms continue into the afternoon today, I would recommend getting her into a clinic for a follow up exam and diagnostics to assess the problem. If they believe she is in pain somewhere, perhaps imaging would be next best things in terms of diagnostics. Hope this makes sense.

Bailey is experiencing very general symptoms of disease, these symptoms could fit almost any internal condition, maybe she is suffering from nausea due to a gastrointestinal disease and maybe she is in pain, from the symptoms described it's very hard to know. i would recommend taking her to the vet as soon as possible in order to get her checked, if he doesn't show any other obvious symptoms during the examination, a blood test and possibly an ultrasound will be needed in order to try and find out what is wrong with her.

Hi there-Daisy may be very anxious, causing her heart rate to increase and panting to exert excess heat. If she is hot she will pant like this as well. If she seems painful or is having a hard time breathing well I would take her in to see your vet as soon as possible.

I would recommend counting Bella's respiratory rate when she is completely asleep - if she is tachypneic because of respiratory or cardiac disease it should continue during sleep. If her respiratory rate is less than 30 when she is sleeping the rapid breathing is probably behavioral. If her sleeping respiratory rate is over 30 (it is important that she is in deep sleep), or if she starts coughing or has an increase in effort when breathing you should see a vet right away.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds as though your dog is in respiratory distress and should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Breathing problems are a medical emergency and should not be ignored. There maybe a life threatening problem.

The main concern is that he is having to position his head in this fashion to breath. That is very worrisome for pathology in the lungs. Whenever there is a change in breathing pattern, the pet should be examined. I recommend to have him examined right away. It's better to be safe than sorry. I hope this helps.

Sounds like Bella may be in some pain, or may have an underlying illness or injury. Sometimes being startled or stressed out can also cause these symptoms to show, so trying to get her to a calm place where she can lay down and relax may help. If she seems very painful, doesn't calm down, or is having trouble breathing it is best to seek veterinary care ASAP so that she can be examined and the underlying problem found.
