- Monitor if panting occurs consistently at specific times or after particular activities.
- Check if your dog exhibits any other symptoms such as lethargy or changes in appetite.
- Consider environmental factors, like heat or stress, that might be causing the panting.
Observing these factors can help determine if the medication is affecting your dog or if other environmental or physical causes could be at play. It's crucial to address your dog's discomfort to prevent further health issues and ensure his quality of life.
