My little girl has me worried. She is acting very strange. I thought she might be missing the rest of the family who is on vacation, but she gets progressively worse with each day. I'm hoping she'll perk up when they get back this weekend.
She walks around like she's in a fog. I take her outside and she pretty much just stands where I put her. When she's in the house, she stays under my bed and I have to drag her out. Her hidey place was always there anyway, but she would come out when I called her - but not now - and I have to close my bedroom door to keep her out of there. She doesn't even bark and come running to me when I get home if I have been out running errands. She hasn't wanted any of her mid-morning snacks for a couple of weeks, and last night she ate hardly any of her supper. This morning she wouldn't eat any treat that I normally hide her meds in, so I couldn't get them in to her. She's drinking water, but not that much, but she's always been that way, so I don't know if I should be concerned about that.
I'm going to call her vet's office in a while, and see if she can see her tomorrow since she's off today. I don't want to wait thru the weekend and have to take her to the emergency vet. She has a heart murmur, but has been stable with that for several years, and still was several months ago when she was last checked.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do for her? It breaks my heart to see her this way. I know she's getting old (14 this past Jan) and I will have to face bumps in the road, and eventually the final one. But this has come on rather quickly and I'm not ready yet.
If you could, please send some PT prayers her way. Thanks all.
