Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 6 months old | 90 lbs
My dog was outside going to the bathroom and running around. She then started whining. She walks just fine. She is breathing kind of hard like she wore herself out. Her gums are normal color

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Ashley. It could be that she wore herself out and she may be a bit painful causing the whining. I'd rest her tonight. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she's still acting this way in the morning, then I'd have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
