What to observe
Log the cue combination, not only the headline cue.
- Record temperature, activity, breathing effort, posture, and stress triggers.
- Note appetite, vomiting, weakness, pain signs, or collapse risk.
- Repeated context can help a professional understand the pattern.
Journal prompt
Save what was visible and what was happening before and after panting began.
Where PawSignal fits
PawSignal can help organize cue context, but it must not diagnose panting causes.
Care boundary
Breathing trouble, collapse, severe pain, or sudden worsening is urgent and should not wait for app analysis.
