Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Panting can result from many causes. Exercise, excitement, warm temperatures are normal & common causes, but fear, pain, & an elevated body temperature ( fever ), would be of concern. Depending on how long this has been occurring, & if you can not calm her down with a treat of a cool fan, she may be in need of seeing a veterinarian. Hopefully, she will be fine. Take care.
