My Small Dog Panted And Shivered For Several Hours Last Night, And Is Doing It Again Today. Could Not Settle Down To Sleep For A Long Time. Hides In The Laundry Room. What Could Make Him Do That? He Is Drinking And Eating.
Answer:
Panting can be a sign of distress, discomfort or pain. It can be related primarily to the respiratory tract or can be secondary to some diseases like Cushing's disease. Since he is powerless to get comfortable I suspect he is experiencing pain--this could be in the musculo-skeletal system or in the belly. I would have him examined by your veterinarian to localize the source of discomfort. It is a good sign that he is eating and drinking.
