Reader Question
What natural ways can I stop a dog with an adrenal tumor from panting?
Answer from Our Team
Panting in dogs with Cushing's or an adrenal tumor is usually caused by the excess cortisol, so the most effective treatment is controlling the hormone, with medication or surgery. There are no proven natural remedies for this.
Keep your dog cool and at a healthy weight, and ask your vet to check blood pressure, since high blood pressure is common in these dogs. Sudden heavy panting or breathing difficulty needs a vet promptly.
