Yesterday and today Petey is not acting normal. He is sleeping constantly and seems to be moving very slowly when he is up, as if he is achy. He looks very sad. He is eating and drinking normal, but with no puppy gusto. I am soooo scared. I have a vet appointment in 2 hours. Anyone have their puppy ever act this way? Any ideas of what kinds of virus's or infections they can get?

I don't know but I jsut wanted to say good luck.

When my boy had his ear infections he moved like his whole body hurt him because he didn't want to move his head.

Hope Petey will be OK. Is he limping at all? If so, could be Pano, although it could be a number of things. Did he get into anything? Stools OK? Good you are having him checked. They make us worry so.

Sending good thoughts and fast recovery....Keep us posted.

Oh Carol - Please let us know what the vets says - I hope he's ok. We will be thinkg if you both!

 

[doberkim]

hope things go well - let us know what is going on!

 

[LTH]

Hope everything is ok, let us know and give Petey a big get well hug!!!!

 

[Fitzmar Dobermans]

Hope he is OK - let us know. I'll be thinking good thoughts for him.

Thanks for your well wish for my baby. The Vet couldn't find anything wrong. He said it could just be growing pains. I will have to keep an eye on him, and he said if he goes off his food, then we will look further.

He was even excellent in the waiting room, not normal for him...he usually barks at the other dogs the entire time....he laid down next to me for most of the time....4 other dogs came and went too!

I am paranoid after losing my other dogs....I worry about him all the time. Too much my family says.

Poor Petey - and you. I know how much they make you worry when they are 'off colour'. Hope he is feeling better very soon. Let us know how you get on at the vets. Big kiss to Petey from me and Tia XX

Glad to hear that his check up turned out ok. Maybe he is just a little tired. Please let us know if anything changes and I really hope the best for you and Petey.

 

[DreamDoby]

I hope he starts to feel better.

 

[dobes4us]

Hope he is better in no time....

Luvbirds, is Petey back to his old self this AM?

 

[MandysBlackRoses]

Get Well soon Petey!

Hey Carol - How's Petey doing today???

 

[Luvbirds]

We took a hike....he didn't run at all. Was overly good when we ran into his dog buddies a Labradoodle and a yellow Lab, he didn't nip or bark at them. Now he has been sleeping since. He ate his breakfast. He isn't well....he is usually hell on wheels most of the day....and now it's day three and he's still sleepy and quiet. Vet said if he goes off his food or gets limpy...call him. I hate worrying about him!

Thank you all so much for caring about him.

Is his stools ok? Is there any chance he could have eaten something like a sock or washcloth?

I hope he is ok! I worry because of Nash.

 

[alwayshadpets]

I would be concerned too. Can you get a second opinion?

 

[Luvbirds]

Is that how Nash acted? He is pooping fine. I will see how it goes tonight... and then call the vet back tomorrow...tell him we need to look further.

Not exactly but anytime they aren't actng right I worry. Nash did act somewhat lethargic after we got him to the vets, but not so much when he first threw up the first sock.

Petey laying around this long is what worries me, just don't seem normal for a pup. I am a major worrywart when they change their behaviour!

Two things that are important to me is that they are eating and drinking and it is coming out the other end.
