My dog won't stop panting. When should I take them to the vet?

Question

My dog has been panting for a long time what do I do? Pet's info: Dog | West Highland White Terrier | Female | 7 years and 2 months old | 15 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Oh no, poor Sammy! This panting could be caused by being too hot, cardiac disease, respiratory disease, respiratory distress, or pain. Given that Sammy has been panting for a long time, I would recommend having him seen by a vet right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing his panting and can treat him for it.
