Dog acting restlessly, pacing and panting

A dog acting restlessly, pacing and panting may be caused by hot weather, stress, or a cold. If this occurs without any other symptoms of physical discomfort, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and will not affect the dog's health. Owners do not need to worry too much. If it is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and runny nose, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular pet hospital in time to avoid delay in the diagnosis and treatment, and to alleviate the symptoms.

1. Hot weather

During hot summer days, the temperature is usually high, which may cause the dog's temperature to rise. At this time, the dog's respiratory system will cool down through its mouth and tongue, and may exhibit symptoms of restlessness and pacing. To address this, owners can use fans and air conditioners to help lower the room temperature, which can alleviate the symptoms to some extent.

1. Stress

If a dog is frightened by loud noises such as firecrackers or thunder, it may become anxious, nervous, and scared. Generally, the dog will show symptoms of restlessness and pacing. In this case, the owner should stay beside the dog to provide a sense of security, which can help alleviate the symptoms.

1. Cold

If a dog often gets rained on or takes cold showers, its immune system may weaken, allowing viruses to invade and multiply in the body. This can lead to symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and nasal congestion, and may also be accompanied by restlessness and mood swings. It is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular pet hospital for examination, and use fever-reducing and cold medicines under the guidance of a doctor based on the examination results, which is beneficial to the recovery of the disease.
