Cats do not pant often. When they do it is often a sign of distress. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Based on what they find on a physical exam they may recommend lab work and possibly x-rays to help determine the diagnosis. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
