Panting can indicate many different things. It can be respiratory or even pain causing it. Without seeing Mimi we can’t say what is causing it and why she is so uncomfortable. I would recommend having your veterinarian do a physical examination on her to see what is causing the panting. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
