My dog was hyper yesterday morning and then me and my boyfriend get home from work and he does nothing but want to sleep and not eat. he did not eat yesterday morning or night, or this morning or tonight. we feed him twice a day. he is just walking around like he is half asleep and does nothing but want to lay down?
whats wrong with him..
I have taken my dog to the vet and he has type 2 diabetes. He is not on insulin and a prescription dog food.
I think it may be best to take your dog to the vet. The symptoms you have described are vague and can be caused by a variety of different diseases.
What you are describing could be impacted anal glands, or Lyme or other tick disease, or a torn anterior cruciate ligament or other athletic injury. Other causes could be urinary tract infection, kidney disease and more.
It is not very costly to have the anal glands checked, and emptied if necessary, and to have the blood test for the tick borne disease. If your dog has one of the tick diseases he would be treated with doxycycline. If these prove to be normal, than more extensive blood tests, a urinalysis, and X-Rays should be performed.
