Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Based on the pictures Chutki doesn’t look pale. If she is having a change in her exercise pattern, I would recommend an exam by a veterinarian to rule out pain (which can cause panting) or a heart condition. These are common signs seen for both. Good luck and kisses to Chutki!
