My Aussie is 12 yrs old and has been sporadically pacing and panting, whining at me and acting anxious. I have taken her to the vet and they are running blood work to rule issues out. In the meantime, I'm just wondering if this is typical behavior on older Aussie's. So far as I can tell she's not hurting, just slowing down. This anxiousness doesn't happen every day, but at least once a week for the past month.

This could be a sign of a weakening heart. My dog recently passed away due to heart failure due to my failure to notice any slight signs of uneasiness and take action. Best wishes for you and your pet.
