A dog who's panting non stop, regardless of temperatures has other health issues, probably serious, that require a vet. It could be anything from the pallet to the heart.... it needs checked out and fixed quick!

VERY IMPORTANT thing that you left out.. How old is the dog? My dog pants all the time(although has reduced some panting now that it is getting cooler). I have had her tested for heart worm.... then for blood testing for most everything else... then for valley fever and all came back GREAT.. Now next week, I am doing a final test..that is a urine test to see if she is urinating too much protein... BUT.. ALL IN ALL.. I think she is panting because.. entirely because she is old..17 years old and about 10 pounds overweight

Why did no longer you handle the heartworms to commence with? What else is going on that your vet did no longer think of it replaced into secure to handle the canines's heartworms. it must be many stuff. The heartworm affliction must be progressing into it is totally final tiers. The fluid interior the vessels must be leaking into the canines's abdomen and the tummy is filling with fluid, making respiration harder on your canines. Panting isn't an illustration of fever. canines's run fevers often in basic terms for infections. And for many different motives diverse than people. The canines could have a twisted stomache and must be in existence threatening threat if surgical operation isn't performed very very quickly. it must be many many many different issues. the two way in my view i might load up my motor vehicle and head on out. yet no less than in case your vet would not take after hours calls, i might call that ER health center and tell them what's occurring and shop on with their suggestion. back i might take a street holiday to the quickest vet care i ought to get. Your canines must be in severe difficulty and want vet care now.

There is more info needed to help with this one.
If it's unusual panting, there are many things this could be. Heart disease, heartworms...call a vet if this is not the usual dog panting.

What kind of dog? How old? Is he overweight? Consult your vet, your dog may have a respiratory infection, or congestive heart failure.

usually it just helps them cool down... but some dogs just like to pant... it's a habit... they don't even realize that they do it

most breeds of dogs don't sweat so they have to pant to stay cool and control their body temp.

Something is wrong and he is not getting enough oxygen. Take him to the Vet, he may have heart worm or some sort of heart or lung problem.
