My dog is panting, tail tucked, and hair standing up. What's wrong?

Question

Thank you for answering my question. I have another question, she has also been panting, her tail has been between her legs and her hair has been standing up on her back. Is this also normal behavior? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 2 months old | 13 lbs

Bella could be panting because she's hot or stressed. Being stressed can also cause her to tuck her tail between her legs and have her hair on her back stand up. Monitor her for now, and if this behavior continues over the next 12-24 hours, I would have her seen by a vet for a health check to be safe.
