I don't know how things are going now, but my little one has had on 2 occasions panic/anxiety attacks where she suddenly began panting and shaking and otherwise is fine- no pain, fever or chill, eats and drinks fine.
She is adopted/rescue and so I don't know her history, but the thing that set her off the first and worst time was my using a staple gun to upholster a ramp that my hubby created to let her get on and off the bed. She is always around us and most noises don't seem to bother her, but when I started using that she just disappeared and then didn't come when we called. We found her upstairs on the bed shaking and panting and unable to calm down. We never even have that staple gun out where she could even see it now and it breaks my heart when I even think of why she is so terrified of it now. Anyhow- I don't know if there is something that could have been going on that would have made your little one anxious and I think it is impt to check out with a vet to see how to handle it either way- I just wanted to share in case that might be what was going on with your little one. We now have some anti-anxiety medicine for Bella, but hope we won't have to use it.
btw- the way we figured out it was anxiety was that I took her outside to see how she would do and if she needed to potty and she calmed down outside but didn't want to come into the house (She always leaps back into the house) and then resumed panting and shaking when she saw the staple gun still in the living room. So my hubby took her on a long walk while I finished the project and put everything away. |
