what causes dogs to pant
Dogs donât have the ability to sweat through the skin pores; they only sweat through their paws and they also eliminate heat through the tongue. Some symptoms of a heat stroke include panting, shaking, excessive salivation, seizures or sudden collapse. If your dog is shaking and panting, he may have a heart problem. In dogs with a heart condition, it may happen that the heart is enlarged, pressing on the lungs and making it difficult for the dog to breathe.
