It's like she's non stop moving

It sounds like your beagle is experiencing some significant discomfort, which can indeed be concerning. The behaviors you’ve described—moving back and forth, panting heavily, and seeming out of it—could be attributed to several factors, including anxiety, pain, or an underlying medical condition.

Given her age, it's possible she might be dealing with pain from arthritis or another age-related issue. Anxiety or stress can also manifest in similar symptoms, especially if there have been any recent changes in her environment or routine, even if those changes seem minor to us.

For immediate home care, try to create a calm and quiet environment for her. Ensure she has a comfortable place to rest and avoid exposing her to loud noises or stressful situations. You might also try gently massaging her to see if that helps her relax.

However, since these symptoms have been ongoing and are quite severe, it's crucial to monitor her closely. If you notice any additional symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or if her condition worsens, it would be best to seek professional veterinary care as soon as possible. Heavy panting and restlessness can sometimes indicate a more serious underlying issue that requires prompt attention.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
