Emma,

Dogs don't sweat, as I'm sure you've probably heard by now: they pant instead. I'm guessing that the extra intake of oxygen and the exposure/condensation of their gums and tongue helps to drop their body temperature. Panting is entirely normal, wheezing isn't.

What's her heart rate when she pants? And when she stops?

I doubt it has to do with the anesthesia, but I'm not a vet, so don't trust my answer. And if you're going to ask the same vet who administered the anesthesia, don't trust his answer, either. Some vets are real honest and ethical, others aren't.

Peace,
--Jim--
