If only Sadie could talk! It's possible the licking is due to a bladder infection or vaginitis. The panting can indicate pain. Since Sadie can't tell you what is happening, I recommend to play it safe and have Sadie examined by the veterinarian today. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
