Lola is an 8 year old bully and some nights she will be panting a lot & is real restless & won't lay down & go to sleep. Some nights she is fine but lately it has been terrible. She sleeps a lot during the day & she has no panting during the day. I feed her around 4:30 P.M. & bedtime is anywhere from 9-10 P.M. She always wants a dental bone or a regular dog bone before bedtime. But usually around 8 she starts this panting & crying. It's not hot, our climate is usually in the low 50's at night. She walks around with this problem & we tell her to lay down & she will for a few minutes still while panting then it's back to walking around. Normally she gets up on the bed & likes to sleep between my legs & she will sleep most of the night. But when she gets in to this panting & crying she won't settle down. Sometimes we will give her a few pieces of dog food to settle her down but she is gaining weight from that, so I don't like to do that. She will roam the house & find different spots to lay at but she can't seem to control the panting. Do Bullies get "hot flashes" by any chance? I wish she could talk to tell me what is wrong with her. If any one can help or knows what is causing the "night pants" I would appreciate any suggestions so she & I can get a good nights sleep. Thank you.
