My dog's neck keeps swelling up. She hangs her head and tail very low, she hunches her back and just wants to lie down, completely stretched out. One minute she'll be fine and the next she's like this and stays like this for a couple of hours. We've also noticed that her heart beat becomes a lot more obvious in her chest and stomach, she also shivers and licks her lips a lot - and occasionally whimpers as well.
We took her to the vet on Wednesday and the vet took an x-ray of her chest, which nothing showed up on. The vet also took a blood test, which showed that she is dehydrated - but overall the vet is unsure about what it could be that's happening to her when this occurs, or what's causing it. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
