Technical talk:

In human terms, a high calcium level tends to put other body chemicals out of order - (digs in the memory banks... :rolleyes: ) I think it's because calcium binds to bicarbonate as it's filtered by the kidneys in humans and leads to alkylosis or acidosis (wrong pH in the blood) - panting can be the respiratory system's way of trying to re-balance. I wonder if this is the same for animals?

Personal experience:

I had a lovely old ginger cat who got melanoma of the iris, had the eyeball removed but it had spread. We treated him holistically, using herbal drops thought to help in human melanoma. It was a long shot, but so long as he agreed to drink the drops voluntarily, we decided to give it a go.

He lasted 18 months longer than the prognosis! :D When we eventually said goodbye, it was gentle (very sad, of course) and he'd had a short reprieve, and

It's so sad when the 'time' seems close. My sympathies go out to you.
