Trouble breathing????

[MIKE IN lINO III]

I have a springer about 10 yrs old. Yesterday she was panting like it was extremely hot out. She would not quit. Last night she was snoring louder than normal and this morning she started in with the panting again.

I was thinking that she might have a summer cold as she was coughing a couple of times the other night but the panting has me worried.

She is healthy and other than the panting and she acts normal. IE: wags her tail and comes when she is called.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thx,

Mike

The wife checked on the dog at lunch and decided to take her to the Doggy emergency room. Turns out she has a cyst (sp) on the inside of her throat. They have her sedated until we here from the radiologist to determine what to do.

Thanks guys,

The vet did a biopsy (sp)of the growth in her throat, they are leaning towards cancer. They gave us some meds to keep her calm to assist in her breathing.

She seems her normal self with the exeption of the panting.

We'll have to wait and see what happens.
