Our Pomeranian dogs have been known to hyperventilate if they get very hot. In this way, the saliva in the Pomeranian’s mouth can be evaporated, reducing its own temperature. But the rapid breathing doesn’t last long. When the Pomeranian’s body temperature cools down, the dog’s breathing rate will return to normal. So what should you do if your Pomeranian is constantly short of breath?
If the Pomeranian is constantly short of breath, then it is a proof that the Pomeranian must be sick. However, THERE are many diseases that can cause SHORTness of breath, SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT other CONDITIONS to SEE WHAT THE Pomeranian IS suffering from. If the Pomeranian is experiencing shortness of breath, it is accompanied by repeated coughing. It could be bronchitis or pneumonia. It could be heart failure or kennel cough. These conditions cause a lack of oxygen, which causes shortness of breath in Pomeranians. So we should send the dog to the hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible.
If the Pomeranian is experiencing shortness of breath with a fever. Then the Pomeranian may be suffering from an acute infection. This situation can be serious and may endanger the dog’s life, so we should send the dog to the hospital immediately. If the Pomeranian is weak and short of breath, the dog may be suffering from heat stroke because of the heat. In this case, we should immediately take the dog to a cool place, otherwise it is likely to cause the Pomeranian to faint from exhaustion.
If the Pomeranian is always short of breath and the mucous membranes in the mouth are white. In this case, the Pomeranian may harbor parasites. If the parasite is in the dog’s body for a long time, it will cause the dog to have anemia, white mouth mucosa, shortness of breath and other symptoms, so we should also be sent to the hospital in time. In general, if a Pomeranian is constantly short of breath, then this is definitely not a normal response. So we can only make a preliminary judgment, can not directly to the dog medication, must be sent to the hospital in time.
