Tongue out and panting may be normal cooling after heat or exercise, or from respiratory/heart disease. Cool the room and let the cat rest; if panting continues, see a vet.
My dog is six years old, a male, has been vomiting yellow fluid fairly often lately, and yesterday suddenly gasped like asthma, seemed very uncomfortable, then recovered after a few minutes. What’s going on?
Frequent yellow vomit and gasping may be drug side effects, airway blockage, gut issues, or heart disease. An older dog may have heart disease; gasping means breathing trouble and choking risk, so see a vet for targeted care.
How long does it usually take for a dog to give birth to puppies?
A dog's gestation period is about two months. Once pregnancy reaches two months or more, the dog enters the pre-labor stage. Around 4-5 weeks, the nipples become more swollen and erect. Rapid breathing, contractions, nesting, milk discharge, or watery vaginal discharge usually signal that labor is near.

It’s been about two months and tonight she suddenly started crying, rubbing against me, then stopped when I put her in her bed – is she about to give birth?
A cat's pregnancy is usually 61-63 days. If you're sure she's been pregnant about two months, these signs likely mean labor is near. Watch for mammary changes, restlessness, and rapid breathing, and prepare a quiet, comfortable nesting area.
What Happens If a Kitten’s Umbilical Cord Isn’t Cut?
