Hello, I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu who has been whiny and panting for the past day.
Last night he would not go to sleep, a very unusual thing for him (he is a sleep-o-holic once it becomes dark). He spent most of the night whining and crying. I took him out much more often than normal.
I thought he might be constipated, but he had a normal bowel movement this morning. He was calm for the most of today but has recently picked up his whining again.
I took him outside again and he looked like he was urinating, but I didn't see anything on the ground.
He has also been panting, though it isn't hot and he hasn't done any strenuous activity.
What could be wrong with him and should I be worried?
