Help! My dog is freaking out bad!

We have a beagle/sheltie mix and for the last few days off and on she has been running around the house like crazy, panting very hard and sometimes moaning. her tounge hangs out. she wants to go in and outside more than normal but just sits down. we think she may have an ear infection and my mom has been giving her drops from the vet.  she has also been trying to get in my lap, which is not normal for her (she is my moms dog!!) she also hides under the tables. she dosent look like she is hurting or in pain. its almost like a storm is coming, but she has never done this before??

Good idea from chigrandma - check out his gums.  Either extremely red, or white gums are bad news meaning you need a vet NOW.  Regardless of the gums, I still think you need a vet NOW.  I've known some dogs who will behave that way when they have pain - it's like they're trying to run away from it.  Until you rule out a physical problem, you can't diagnose a behaviorial issue so make that appointment!  :-)

When a dog pants excessively and its not hot or stressed nervous...that is NOT a good sign at all for whatever reasons....theres something wrong... look at your dogs gums and tongue....are they red....if so...not a good sign...
It sounds like your dog is in heat if its a male.....
or,,,,,,your dog is in trouble and you need to get the dog to vet asap....could be cardiac...
Panting is not a good sign w/out cause....hot weather...or stressed about a storm coming or PAIN or CARDIAC....
Please get to vet or Emer Hosp...

I would take the dog back to the vet for more tests.  I am not sure what it means, but if it abnormal behavior for your dog, something else is going on.  Maybe it is an ear infection, but I would have it checked out again.
