I also have a 12 year old lab. His hind legs are going on him he has a hard time getting up from lying down, sitting and going up the stairs. We have been giving him glucosemean however he still struggles. He now huffs/pants very hard after do exerts himself whether its going down the stairs or just walking around. With that being said he seems happy however I'm concerned that he is suffering. Your input is appreciated. Thank you for your response I do some of those suggestions. I also have a 12 year old lab.

They have naturally thick coats and bodies. You're dog is simply panting because she is hot. Some things you can do it keep her cool are: buy a cooling mat, cooling bandanna, wet her ears, forehead, paws, and keep her out of extreme heat, and shave her during the summer months.

Yes she pants when she plays around or after going for a walk but when we have not done any activity she pants like crazy. Even at night she pants. There doesn't look to be anything wrong with her, she is a happy go lucky puppy, I just don't understand. My boyfriend says that maybe is because her breed grows so fast and big that her lungs haven't caught up just yet. Very confused...any input would help.

This can be a sign of something as cancer or an infection in the nasal cavity. I would take him in to see a veterinary and find the source of the problem. Nosebleeds in dogs is not normal.

It' frustrating not knowing what is wrong and how to treat it. A bent trachea definitely fit all the symptoms. All the best and keep us updated on the progress!

I tock my dog for xrays and his trachea is slightly bent. This seems to be due to old age; and I found out several other people I know have older dogs with some of the same symptoms. However, we discovered that he has arthritis down his back and even some in his tail. I am taking him in for a recommeded test for cushings and Hypothyroidism as well. I will also bring up the Laryngeal Paralysis to be sure. I got him a new orthopedic foam bed by toppaw that he really loves and we increased his meds for arthritis. He is now sleeping better with less panting. I will still feel better after the tests. My dog and I have such a strong bond. Thanks again, Somewhat less worried mom. Thank you for the good advice.

Have they checked the surrounding area for any tumors or anything that could obstruct his airway? In the mean time I would make sure to have a fan blowing in your room and even wet the top of his head and ears to keep him cool. If you’re able I would also try to feed him more canned food, or soak his dry kibble in water to make it soft before feeding. I would definitely go see another veterinarian, it sounds like he has developed some sort of condition probably due to age. It’s a good idea to take video of your dogs’ symptoms to help your vet understand the situation better. It sounds like the last 2 vets you visited aren’t as concerned with the well-being of you and your dog. Keep up posted on what your vet says! Best wishes!!!

He walks two 30 minute walks a day but he has arthritis in his leg. My room is dry and I awake very dry ea. morning also. He even breaths hard when eating and sometimes snorts or coughs. He sometimes crys. He is on arthristis meds; deramaxx 100 mg tab - 1/2 a day or so and tramadol 50 mg twice a day. I am really worried and have seen 2 vets so far who say it's the arthritis, but I am not sure. With all the meds he still seems uncomfortable. He is 13. I wonder could it be his throat or lungs. He also just got his first case of brown mit looking stuff in his ears and shakes his head. Doc told me to clean by only wiping out. Is this enough? Help please. Worried Mom. Thank you.
