Hi there. Excessive panting can be a sign of pain, physical discomfort, stress or anxiety, certain types of illnesses such as liver disease or Cushing's disease, or simply being too hot :) Without more information about Kai's behavior, it's hard to say why he might be panting more than normal. Feel free to post again with more information about your concerns - we would be happy to try and help.
