Why is my dog pacing, panting, and acting strange? Is she sick?

Question

I have a blue heeler 1 year old female spayed. She may have a bug bite but can not find anything on her body. She started acting erratically last night right after we think she may have been bitten. She started pacing my hallway and whining. She is also panting like she’s hot. Pet's info: Dog | Blue Heeler | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 40 lbs

That is not the type of reaction I would expect from a bug bite. I would be concerned about pain first and foremost. If she's still pacing, panting, or acting erratic, I would recommend taking her to a vet right away for evaluation. They will likely do a physical exam and take some x-rays, maybe run some blood work. I hope she's feeling better soon!
