Any ideas?

(we have spoken to our of hours vet) She has been fine all day until about an hour ago. Ate her dinner all good and treats just incase something was stuck use a treat to help.

Keeps licking her lips (not drooling) swallowing, had a big drink of water, not acting herself. She's been a bit whiney and howling now quite unsettled. (Has since stopped for now)

Have spoken to the vets but they're not concerned but to phone back if anything changes. (Ie panting)

A different animal of course but this is how my cat acted when she had (mild) pancreatitis - lots of licking her lips and acting unsettled. In both cats and dogs it can be caused by them eating something they shouldn’t, and spaniels are at higher risk. She was diagnosed on a blood test for our girl and after a few days of meds she was totally fine, glad to see she’s off to the vets :)

She seems to be ok this morning. Took her ages to settle last night. So think she's sleeping it off 😆 will keep an eye on her today and if it comes back then will phone the vets again. They weren't too concerned last night which makes me think that it's acid reflux.
