I have a dog after about a hour of running start breathing really hard and loud. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do for it?

I would have him checked for Heartworms

Chris, I have a female that does the same thing when it is hot, but she dont do it when its cool out.I ask the vet he said it could be whipworms or it could be just the hot weather.

Ive got a female that done that and i had changed dog food vet said she was allerged to chicken in new food went back to old food and she was fine

Hey chris ck your shock collar, is it in frt or rear of collar?

It's not heart worms. I give meds every month for that. She only does it when it's warm. I've tried not even using a shock collar still don't help. I was wondering if there was something that the vet could possible do. It's almost as if she has allgeries real bad

Maybe she has a clift pallet.

I didnt know how to spell it chad.

Can the vet fix that

If that is what it is, my vet told me that they can do a procedure to make it smaller per say but I dont know how effective it is

know of a dog that had surgery and it help for awhile. in the cold months hes fine in the hot months his bark gets
weaker. if you can get up with rocky top (scott channey) he can tell u more about the dog.

seen a dog in new york with pallet problem,he had a very hard time in the heat but the way the guy was talking it could be fixed

I have a male that has the same breathing problem when he gets hot. He had the surgery to correct his elongated pallet but honestly I don't believe it helped. I had him get to hot at a trial and he has never been the same. I've seen this with other dogs, if they ever over heat they never completely get over it. They will have fatique or breathing problem during hot weather.

Sounds to me like DMP has it.
Think back and do you remember running him till he got to hot.
I had a friend who had a really good little hound and got him to hot and he never got over it.
good luck with him.
