What's with the golden hair panting?

Golden retriever is short of breath under normal circumstances.

The most common normal condition of golden retriever is shortness of breath, which is when golden retriever has just finished exercising or the weather is hot. Everyone knows that there are no sweat glands on the golden retriever, but there are some sweat glands at the claw seam. More heat is emitted from the golden retriever's mouth through the tongue and breath. At the end of the exercise and when the weather is hot, the golden retriever takes away the heat in the body by speeding up breathing. Careful parents will find that the golden retriever's tongue will become particularly wide at this time, so that the dog's tongue area will become larger and the heat dissipation effect will be better. Therefore, it is normal for us to see Jin Mao panting when he just ran wildly or in summer. At this time, the golden retriever's shortness of breath is very stable, there is no nasal and thoracic murmur, and there is no difficulty in breathing or exertion.

Golden retriever is short of breath occasionally.

There are some sporadic situations below. Jin Mao will also have shortness of breath, but after a while, he will slowly slow down his breathing. For example, seeing someone you like or hate can cause dogs to get emotional, or they can gasp for breath quickly because of pain, or they are particularly interested in something. Because emotional factors can also lead to golden retriever breathing faster. This may be the same as us humans. When we are emotional, our breathing and heartbeat will accelerate, which should be the same.

Shortness of breath caused by illness.

Golden retriever has some diseases that can also lead to shortness of breath, such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases and so on. At this time, the breathing speed of the golden retriever is different from that mentioned above. You will find that Jin Mao's breathing is obviously short of breath and difficult to breathe, which is a bit like our beating. Other diseases, such as fever, ascites or diabetes, can also cause shortness of breath. However, no matter what kind of disease causes the golden retriever to gasp quickly, it is not just a matter of shortness of breath, but must be accompanied by other symptoms of the disease, which can usually be found through careful observation, such as excessive body temperature, excessive drinking, overeating, excessive urination, noise when breathing, poor mental health of the golden retriever and so on.
