| Bells seems fine during the day but at night she Bells seems fine during the day but starts panting,tongue out. I think she is sitting funny. Like too straight up with legs stiff. She's eating, drinking, toileting fine- urine and poop, sleeping,running playing. But something seems off ( to anxious me). My husband says she's fine, maybe she's hot. It has been warmer, but she just had a haircut, the air conditioner is on ( but not running so it's still) I've noticed it a couple of nights. I notice her biting her back leg a bit. Not obsessively. Sound familiar to anyone? She does have IVDD - chronic but not acute at this time, she has/had pancreatitis, but not acute at this time. She's 7 and weighs 7 pounds. Does anything about this panting / sitting weird sound familiar? Thanks in advance. |

| She could be in pain. You might want to have the vet check and see if he IVDD is causing her some pain.

| Thanks Thanks for the info. I will take her on Monday. I hope she's not in any pain. She seems fine otherwise. |

| With any of my now passed babies when they started acting "not like their lil ole selves" I would watch them maybe for a day depending on how they were acting. We know our pups and know when something is not quite right. 98% of the time I whisked them off to the vet. I am very fortunate to have a 24/7 365 vet. I would defiantly get this baby to your vet ASAP.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | To me, this sounds just like an IVDD flare up. The biting at the leg could be due to the nerve pain traveling from the compressed disc, down the nerve channel, to the leg - can be extremely uncomfortable. I'm on my 2nd doggie w/ IVDD. My Marcel gets acupuncture once per month and it's been amazing. But for major flare ups, the regimen should be something like oral steroid, muscle relaxant and pain meds.
