Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 23 days old | 14 lbs
My puppy is panting very fast and hard and I was concerned so I looked up some things that may be the cause and it said poisoning and it dawned on me that we have a Vick’s vaporsteam humidifier in our room where he sleeps and from what I’ve read that isn’t good for dogs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Skies. Poor boy. Yes, the Vicks medication isn’t good for him and potentially could be causing a problem. Turn it off, get him out into some fresh air. Keep an eye on him tonight, and if he’s still acting this way in the morning, have him seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
