Lola's symptoms, such as panting, shaking, hiding, loss of appetite, lethargy, and difficulty breathing, are indeed concerning and suggest that there might be a serious underlying issue. These behaviors could be linked to pain, anxiety, respiratory distress, or potentially more severe conditions like heart problems or infections.

Given that these symptoms have persisted for several days, it's essential to seek veterinary care without delay. Difficulty breathing, in particular, is an emergency that requires immediate attention. A veterinarian will be able to conduct a thorough examination, which may include blood tests or imaging, to identify the cause and provide the necessary treatment.

In the meantime, try to keep Lola as calm and comfortable as possible. Make sure she has access to fresh water and a quiet, cool place to rest. It's also important to avoid any stressful situations or loud noises that could worsen her symptoms.

Please take her to a veterinarian as soon as you can to ensure she receives the care she needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
