QUICK PANTING - Once home our friend's dog came over- he was spending the night, and Dolly was excited so she began panting again. She was panting through the evening, despite getting a good amount of water but it hit her when she went to bed. That's when she really panted a lot. So I watched her while I was laying in bed, thinking she's calm down- she didn't after almost an hour so I gave her the heat exhaustion treatment- wiping her down with a cold, wet towel. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get her to calm down (and she drank just a little more water).
Of course, if it got worse, if she was drooling, or if her gums were red I know she'd need IV and medical care, but it didn't get to that extreme. However, if YOUR dog experience those symptoms, take them to a vet ASAP.

Heat
exhaustion can be dangerous, even fatal, for dogs. It can also be
devastating for uninformed or unsuspecting pet owners. Fortunately,
there are some simple things that you can do to protect your dog from
the dangers of heat exhaustion.
Recognize the Signs of Heat Exhaustion in Your Dog
Dogs suffering from heat stroke will normally exhibit some or all of the following symptoms:
• Restlessness
• Panting
• Increased respiratory rate
• Increased heart rate
• Excess salivation
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
As the symptoms progress and the dog’s body temperature increases, signs become even more serious.
• Weakness
• Staggering
• Gasping
• Gum color may become brick red, then purple or blue (cyanosis)
• Seizures
• Coma
• Death
Treatment of Heat Exhaustion
If you believe your dog is suffering from heat exhaustion, seek veterinary care immediately even if your dog’s condition does not seem serious. Cool water can be used to begin to decrease his body temperature during the trip to the veterinarian. Towels can be soaked in cool water and used to cover your dog. You can also place the towels between his legs and across his neck. Do not use cold water or ice. This may make the situation worse.
