Omg, I cannot believe this. She started doing it again

I am soooo confused. I do not understand this AT ALL. Hubby came home for lunch so he was here to see her do it this time as well. She was inside...nothing was going on, we were just sitting there and all of a sudden, she starts panting again

OUT OF THE TOTAL BLUE. My A/C is set on 72 (I keep it pretty cool in the house, cause it is like an OVEN outside) so I know good and well she wasn't hot. Yet she was panting

I am so upset and I don't know what on earth is wrong with her. I already called and made an appointment to take her in to see the vet today. There is no way I am waiting because knowing her, she is going to do it again (she isn't doing it at THE MOMENT) - but I am not waiting. So, she has an appointment at 4:45 (in about 2 and 1/2 hours) to go see the vet. I have no idea what he is going to be able to do to try and figure out why she is doing this. I don't know if he is going to want to run tests or take xrays of her heart or lungs or what....I have absolutely no idea.

Other than the panting she is acting totally fine, but she still does shake, and the shaking is pretty much constant. HOWEVER, I am 95% sure (although not POSITIVE) that the shaking is simply because she is cold. Like I said, I keep it pretty cool in my house and I had to shave Tatum's hair after her surgery because it was all uneven, so I'm thinking that she is just cold because her hair is short. That's my guess anyway. I don't really notice her shaking so much when she is outside. I am going to order her a super duper thick pair of fleece PJ's and see if that helps with the shaking...but in the meantime I am just so darn worried about this panting business

I just hope they can give me an answer as to what's causing it........and I PRAY TO GOD that it is nothing serious

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and I will try and get back here just as soon as possible after we get back from the vet to do an update. Just a little heads up though - they warned me when I called to make her appointment that they are REALLY busy up there today so I could be in there with her a while....so don't freak out if I am not on right away to do an update. But I will do one just as soon as humanly possible!

Thanks guys, and please say lots of prayers for my sweet baby girl and keep her in your thoughts

Love you all xoxoxo
