Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Eating less and lethargic Empty
PostSubject: Eating less and lethargic   Eating less and lethargic EmptyThu Dec 27, 2012 7:22 pm

So the past couple days Bode has been a little weird. He normally is super excited for his meals and eats it all when I put it down. We stayed at my parents the 22-25 and he was less interested in his food there, but he still ate it all eventually. He's done that before staying there and is normal when he comes home. Yesterday and today he's been very lethargic and not eating all his food. When he does eat, he only does a little at a time. Yesterday I chalked it up to him just being tired from three days of non stop stimulation playing with my parents dog (it's happened before) but he usually bounces back after a day. He will still play if you make him, we ran around in the yard this morning (I posted a video of it in the Snow Day thread) and we went to the park yesterday and he ran the whole time. He's not had any vomiting and his stools seem normal. Gums look fine, he's still drinking water like normal. We have a vet appointment for tomorrow, but any ideas what could be going on? I really didn't want to make the appointment and pay the money for a visit if I'm just overreacting, but he's kind of worrying me.

Edited to add: is it possible he just seems lethargic to me right now because he normally sleeps during the day, and I'm on break right now so his schedule is messed up? That still doesn't explain the eating though....

I suggest taking him to the vet. I had a similar situation with Lycus not too long ago and turns out he had an infection in his intestine. Better safe than sorry.

Well he just ate his dinner normally, which is a good sign, but we will still go tomorrow.

They did blood work, x-rays, and a basic check-up. The blood results showed that he had a very high white blood cell count, and the x-rays showed his intestines being strange looking. Although, it might not be as bad for Bode considering he's still eating even if it is just a little.

Lycus was not eating at all and was vomiting so it was definitely worse. He also couldn't even walk on his own. They ended up giving me Cerenia to stop the vomiting and Primor antibiotics for the infection. With this he was walking around the next day and eating a little.

If he is still the same by your vet apt., I would take him in. It doesn't sound as bad as Lycus' but who knows. Hopefully it is nothing serious and he gets better soon! It's sad seeing your pups look so down Sad
