Panting can stem from overheating, stress, pain, heart or lung disease, or tracheal collapse. Cool an overheated dog and ease a scared one with quiet, interaction, or a calming spray.

My cat was missing for half a year and was adopted – will he be upset if I visit him? (He seems stressed and mildly depressed)
Cats are timid but are not usually diagnosed with depression. After half a year with a new owner, he likely trusts them and has forgotten you, so he may just hide. As long as you do not force interaction, a major stress reaction is unlikely. Severe stress, however, can weaken immunity and cause anorexia or illness.
