Question

Diamond
I have a 8 year old Boston terrier who for the past two months has been panting all the time for no reason at all. i have not taking her to the vet for this issue just yet but will soon if it does not stop. my dog has had some kind of nerve damage. the doctors did not know what really was wrong with her. she couldn't walk or ever stand up. as days went on she started to walk better with out loosing her balance. the doctor wanted me to start feeding her wet and dry food. she has pick up some extra weight from the food mix. now she is always Hungary or just wants to eat.im scared to over work her because per the vet she can relapse. i don't know what is wrong with her. can you help me.

Answer
Hello Lotoya- Well, she doesn't look overweight - but close...
As for the panting, hard to say - Did she have an allergy problem or asthma?  What kind of tests did the vet do on her?  Did they at least run some blood work?
She needs a good work up at the vet.
I can suggest some supplements to help - let me know if you want my help on nutritional supplements.

BEST wishes,

Marie
OH, what country are you in?
