He can't stop and his tongue hangs out of his mouth and he runs in circles
It sounds like your dog is experiencing significant distress, given the constant pacing, panting, and running in circles. These behaviors can indicate several underlying issues, including anxiety, pain, or a neurological problem.
Anxiety is a common cause of such behaviors, especially if there have been any changes in your dog's environment or routine. Dogs can become anxious due to loud noises, separation from their owners, or even changes in the household.
Pain is another possibility. Dogs often pace and pant when they are in discomfort. This could be due to joint pain, gastrointestinal issues, or other internal discomforts.
Neurological issues, although less common, can also cause such behaviors. Conditions like seizures or other brain-related problems might lead to repetitive and frantic movements.
For home care, try to create a calm and quiet environment for your dog. Ensure they have a comfortable and safe space to rest. You can also try offering some bland, easy-to-digest food like boiled chicken and rice to see if it helps.
However, given that these symptoms have been ongoing for weeks, it's crucial to have your dog examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly run some tests to determine the exact cause of these behaviors and provide the appropriate treatment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
